The dihydrogen cation, often denoted as \\( \\text\{H\}_2^+ \\), is a molecular ion consisting of two hydrogen atoms with an overall positive charge. It is formed when one of the electrons in a neutral hydrogen molecule (\\( \\text\{H\}_2 \\)) is removed, resulting in a species that lacks one electron but still has two protons.
