chemistry unit 3/4 question

my first question is when acids dissolve in water, do they lose their hydroges, or just the protons and keep the electrons and why?
my second question is why do acids such as HNO3 act like the NO3 is a single atom when bonded to the hydrogen? and why dont they also sperate to form sperate N and O ions ?

Hydrogen ions are protons

But doesn't it have 1 electron as well as a proton

When hydrogen forms an ion, it loses an electron
