When the energy is supplied to the atom of hydrogen it will be exited then its single electron will jump from its ground state to some higher energy level. Now,when it de exites from higher level to ground level by several jumps pectral lines of different wavelengths are emitted. That is why the spectrum of hydrogen contains many lines.

H20 contains three atoms - two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom. HCl contains two atoms - one hydrogen atoms and one chlorine atom. This is all due to valency (how many electrons an atom wishes to gain, lose, or share to form a more stable energy state), which varies from atom to atom.
