Answer:

A

Explanation:

Electrons and the hydroxide ion are negatively charged and are also not atoms.

The hydronium ion and the water molecule are both molecules, not atoms.

By process of elimination, the correct answer is A. The hydrogen ion is an atom and is also positively charged.

Answer:

Option A

Explanation:

Hi, this is why A is the correct option:

Hydronium ion ( [tex]H_3O^+[/tex]), water ([tex]H_2O[/tex] ) and hydroxide ion ([tex]OH^-[/tex]) are all molecules formed by two or more atoms.

So the correct answer is between hydrogen ion and electron. Well the diference is that the first one is positively charged (as the atom pointed) and the second one is negatively charged.

By elimination of the other options, the right one is option A
