Hydrogen gas is hydrogen found in its natural form. Although the chemical symbol for hydrogen is H, hydrogen is diatomic in nature, so it's molecular formula is H2.
Because the hydrogen molecule shares 2 electrons between 2 hydrogen atoms, it is a covalent non-polar molecule.

Hydrogen in the gaseous state exists as diatomic molecules. The molecule is formed by the covalent bonding (i.e. sharing of two electrons, one from each hydrogen atom) of two hydrogen atoms. As the two atoms are the same, the electrons ( or rather the electron cloud) is shared equally by the two hydrogen atoms. Hence no partial charges develop on any of the hydrogen atoms and so the molecule is non polar.
So your answer: Hydrogen is diatomic ie.molecular and polar. The formula is H2

Ionic Non-polar Non-polar (while the EN difference is >.5, the dipoles cancel each other out O=C=O ) Atoms are assigned electronegativity values which indicate how much a particular atom "wants" electrons. These classifications vary from book to book, but in general <.5 is covalent, > or equal to .5 is polar, and > or equal to 1.8 is ionic

The hydrogen gas has the formula H2
it is nonpolar since there are two equal atoms
