Brief description: hydrogen is the lightest element. It is by far the most abundant element in the universe and makes up about about 90% of the universe by weight. Hydrogen as water (H2O) is absolutely essential to life and it is present in all organic compounds. Hydrogen is the lightest gas. Hydrogen gas was used in lighter-than-air balloons for transport but is far too dangerous because of the fire risk (Hindenburg). It burns in air to form only water as waste product and if hydrogen could be made on sufficient scale from other than fossil fuels then there might be a possibility of a hydrogen economy.

Is a H2 or hydrogen gas?
Hydrogen is a gas. H2 is the description of its molecular structure (2 hydrogen atoms bound together).
A description for the formula H2O is two?
No. You might say a description for the formula H2O is two hydrogen atoms bonded to an oxygen atom.
What element is found as a diatomic molecule?
There are actually seven elements that fit that description - hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen, fluorine, chlorine, bromine, and iodine.
Chemical compounds that contain carbon and hydrogen are called?
Compounds that contain carbon-hydrogen bonding are collectively termed organic compounds. These are simply compounds that would contain hydrogen and carbon elements.

What is a molecule composed almost entirely of hydrogen and carbon?
That's a reasonable description of a "hydrocarbon"
Methane CH4 contains four carbon hydrogen single bonds what is the best description of these bonds?
Overlap of each hydrogen 1s orbital with four sp3 hybridized orbitals yielding four sigma bonds.
