Hydrogen exists as H2 because it is more stable in this form due to the sharing of two electrons between the two hydrogen atoms, forming a covalent bond. This configuration allows hydrogen to achieve a full outer electron shell, making it more energetically favorable and stable than existing as a single H atom.
