Each hydrogen atom has one electron on its outer shell. The first electronic shell of any element can only hold 2 electrons, this means that each hydrogen atom needs one electron.

2 hydrogen atoms 'share' their electrons with each other, this can be shown on a dot and cross diagram. Each hydrogen now has 2 electrons on their outer shell and they have become stable.
