#H^+# ion has no electrons in it, whereas #H^-# has two electrons.

Explanation:

The atomic number of H is (Z=1) ;Electronic configuration is #1s^2# .

#H^+# is formed by losing an electron and it contains only a proton, hence it is commonly called as a "proton, hydronium ion".
The electronic configuration of #H^+# is #1s^0#, in its ground state.

#H^-# is formed by gaining an electron and it contains two electron in the atom, it is commonly called as "Hydride ion".
The electronic configuration of #H^-# is #1s^2#, in its ground state.
