Question
Explain the correct context in which the following terms are used:
  1. diprotium.
  2. dihydrogen.
  3. proton.
  4. hydron.

Answer

  1. Diprotium: Diprotium is the term used to represent
  2. Dihydrogen: The diatomic molecule $\text{H}_2$ is called dihydrogen while referring to the isotopic mixture with natural abundance of H and D.
  3. Proton: The ionised form of protium i.e. $\text{H}^+$ is called a proton. This term is used in describing the self ionisation of water and ionisation of acids in water.
  4. Hydron: $\text{H}^+$ when used in relation to the isotopic mixture is called hydron.
