An acidic hydrogen atom is a hydrogen atom that has lost its electron and is running around as a hydrogen ion. The lone proton (in 1H) has loaned out its electron in a chemical reaction, like to chlorine in HCl, and when HCl is combined with water, the H and the Cl separate into H+ and Cl- ions. That H+ ion is the acidic hydrogen atom.

A hydrogen atom that has lost its one and only electron is called a hydrogen ion (H+), but more commonly, a proton. This is because the particle, lacking electrons or neutrons, is essentially just a proton.

Acidic hydrogen is a hydrogen atom from an acid which form the cation H+ by dissolution/dissociation of the acid.

What electron behavior in compounds are found in hydrogen?

Hydrogen has the electron configuration of 1s1 meaning that Hydrogen has only one electron. Because of this, Hydrogen is a moderately reactive substance and behaves atypically both in intermolecular and atomic bonding. The most notable behaviour of Hydrogen is Hydrogen bonding. When hydrogen is bonded to a highly electronegative element, such as Fluorine in HF, the electron density is pulled away from the weak hydrogen atom, leaving the hydrogen almost completely deprived of electrons and a δ+ charge. This induces nearby atoms in other molecules to share their lone pair electrons with the hydrogen, effectively producing a bond similar to a covalent bond, however between molecules. Hydrogen bonding is the strongest intermolecular force and is present in compounds such as water, where the Hδ+ Effectively 'bonds' with the lone pairs of the oxygen atoms in neighbouring molecules, which is why water and ice show unusual properties.
