Hydronium

It should be hydronium not oxonium, in the common cations table 67.160.97.30 (talk) 02:22, 7 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi! In Wikipedia there is a published page about the Hydron - hydrogen ion (H+). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydron_(chemistry) I suggest to homogenise the names throughout the pages, so that in this page (wiki/ion), in the table of common ions (/ion#Common_ions), I would change the name "Hydrogen" as monoatomic cation, to "Hydron", linked to its own Wikipage. Thank you for your attention, Regards, Lo-zioJack 81.0.32.90 (talk) 20:14, 1 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

A minor edit is needed at the end of the 3rd paragraph to correct this inconsistency: "Be²⁺ (positive charge, alpha particle)".

I suggest changing it back to "He²⁺ (positive charge, alpha particle)" as it was earlier. This is consistent with the content of the Wikipedia article "Alpha particle". idorcautwama (talk) 18:33, 14 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Please make this small correction (with "2+" superscripted):

−
~~Be2+~~ (positive charge, alpha particle)
+
He2+ (positive charge, alpha particle)

A doubly ionized Helium atom (not Beryllium) is an "alpha particle".:
This is consistent with the Wikipedia article "Alpha particle".^[1]:
