How is the H3O+ ion formed?
Formation of Hydronium ion
When water (H2O) combines with H+ ion, results in the formation of hydronium ion through a coordinate covalent bond.
In H2O, Oxygen is a central atom having 6 electrons in its valence shell, 2 electrons are shared with 2 H atoms and 2 lone pair(unshared) electrons complete the valence shell configuration of water (H2O).
Due to the presence of lone pair electrons (unshared electron pair), it is electron-rich specie ( nucleophile)and can donate this electron pair to another atom(electrophile). Therefore H2O is a donor.
Remember!!
A donor is electron-rich species and can donate the lone pair electron.
On the other hand, when a hydrogen atom loses its one valence shell electron results in an H+ ion(having no electron).
Note:
Acceptor is the electron-deficient species and needs electrons to complete their valence shell and becomes stable.
so to complete its valence shell ( duplet) H+ ion needs two electrons.Therefore H+ is an electron acceptor(electrophile).
When water molecule combines with H+ ion by the donation of lone pair electron from O-atom (in H2O) to H+ ion results in the formation of Hydronium ion, H3O+.

Coordinate Covalent bond is a type of covalent bond that forms when one atom donates a pair of electrons (Nucleophile) to another atom (Electrophile).
A coordinate Covalent bond is also known as a Dative or Dipolar Bond.

Greetings from Ohio! I’m bored to tears at work so I decided to browse your blog on my iphone during lunch break. I really like the information you present here and can’t wait to take a look when I get home. I’m shocked at how quick your blog loaded on my phone .. I’m not even using WIFI, just 3G .. Anyways, awesome site!
Have you ever thought about including a little bit more than just your articles? I mean, what you say is important and everything. However think about if you added some great visuals or videos to give your posts more, “pop”! Your content is excellent but with pics and video clips, this blog could definitely be one of the very best in its niche. Very good blog!
