Explain in detail about hydronium ion.



i.                     The strength of an acid is measured in terms of the extent of ionization of the acid in aqueous solution.

ii.                    Higher the H+ ions concentration stronger is the acid.


iii.                  Hydrogen ion (H+) does not exist alone. H+ ion being unstable, it combines with H2O to form hydronium ion (H3O+).
