It groups in pairs, usually noted as H2.
You might be wondering why? The answer to this is Hydrogen atom is too unstable to exist as single atom as the valence electron state is unsaturated. Hence it exists as H2

∙ 12y agoYes, hydrogen gas exists as a diatomic molecule with the formula H2.
Wiki User
∙ 12y agoHydrogen gas is diatomic. This is because monatomic hydrogen is very reactive and unstable. Monatomic hydrogen will react with almost any other chemical.
Wiki User
∙ 13y agoThe word "hydrogen" can refer to either an atom or a molecule. Under normal conditions, elemental hydrogen exists primarily as diatomic molecules with the formula H2.

∙ 7y agoIt would exist as a molecule because it is diatomic

Is hydrogen a molecule?
Hydrogen is an atom but the hydrogen molecule is diatomic.H is a single Hydrogen atom, and H2 is a molecule.
What is the difference between a hydrogen atom and a hydrogen molecule?
A hydrogen atom is made from 1 hydrogen atom while a hydrogen molecule is made by 2 hydrogen atoms in a chemical compound thus making it twice as big too.
What causes a hydrogen bond?
When a molecule expands within a hydrogen atom it is released by an incorrerated molecule inside a desticated part of the atom.
What type of charge does a hydrogen atom of an ammonia molecule have?
A hydrogen atom of an ammonia molecule has a slight positive charge, due to the high electronegativity of the nitrogen atom.
Is hydrogen peroxide an atom or an molecule?
A molecule.H2O2
Is hydrogen a molecule?
Hydrogen is an atom but the hydrogen molecule is diatomic.H is a single Hydrogen atom, and H2 is a molecule.
Which is the smallest a mite hydrogen atom DNA molecule or virus?
hydrogen atom
Why the mass of hydrogen molecule is greater then the mass of hydrogen atom?
The hydrogen molecule, H2, contains two hydrogen atoms and thus, has twice the mass of a single hydrogen atom.
What is the difference between a hydrogen atom and a hydrogen molecule?
A hydrogen atom is made from 1 hydrogen atom while a hydrogen molecule is made by 2 hydrogen atoms in a chemical compound thus making it twice as big too.
What causes a hydrogen bond?
When a molecule expands within a hydrogen atom it is released by an incorrerated molecule inside a desticated part of the atom.
State one way in which a molecule of hydrogen and a molecule of oxygen differ?
A hydrogen atom has 1 proton and an oxygen atom has 8
How does molecule differ from an atom?
A molecule may be one or more atoms, where as an atom can only be one atom. For instance there are hydrogen atoms, and diatomic hydrogen molecules.
What type of charge does a hydrogen atom of an ammonia molecule have?
A hydrogen atom of an ammonia molecule has a slight positive charge, due to the high electronegativity of the nitrogen atom.
The intermolecular force occurring when a hydrogen atom of one molecule is attracted to two unshared electrons of another molecule?
Hydrogen bond
How do an atom of hydrogen and a molecule of hydrogen differ?
A molecule consists of many atoms. When you have a hydrogen molecule, or whatever other type of molecule for that matter, you have many hydrogen atoms that make it.
What type of bond forms between a slightly positive hydrogen atom in on molecule and a slightly negative atom in another molecule?
A hydrogen bond.
Is H molecule?
H, standing for hydrogen, is a single atom containing 1 proton. A molecule is a unit of matter which is made by bonding atoms, so "H" is not a molecule.
