Virtually all acids release hydrogen ions (or protons) in water. They also release other ions, but these are specific to each acid. For example, hydrochloric acids releases an hydrogen ion (H+) plus a chloride ion (Cl-).

Acids release hydrogen ions (H+) when dissolved in water, which makes the solution acidic. These hydrogen ions can react with other molecules in the water to form hydronium ions (H3O+).

Acids release protons, or hydrogen ions, since hydrogen atoms have no neutrons.

Hydrogen ions.

H +

Of course in solution hydronium is formed.

H3O +

Acids do not "release" in water, your question is meaningless.
