H:H , it is actually called a Lewis Dot Diagram, and the diagram for H alone is H. If you have two hydrogen atoms come into contact, a possible reaction may form a chemical bond between the two atoms satisfying the atoms' need to receive a full valence, hence each hydrogen atom needs one valence electron

It is of a normal hydrogen molecule, usually denoted as either:

H:H (dot structure) or H-H (Lewis structure)

Each H has one electron, so it is H:H
