    If you’re referring to H vs H2,

    H is usually found in ion form as H+

    H2 is the designation for pure hydrogen gas, as it is diatomic and can only exist on its own in nature if it’s bonded to another H atom.

    In this case, H is an ion and H2 is hydrogen gas

    The way you wrote them out, though, indicates that they could be something different. Maybe isotopes? In this case the 1 and 2 are indicative of the amount of neutrons that the atom has.
