How is Hydonium ion formed?

Answers (1)

A hydronium ion is written as H3O+. It is formed when something else donate a proton, or H+, to a water molecule. The H+ will easily bond to one of the two lone pairs of electrons around the water molecule. The hydronium ion has a trigonal pyramidal geometry and is composed of three hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom.
