None.
Explanation:
Molecules are formed by an element's need or excess of electrons. For example, in nature oxygen generally exists as 02. Other molecules are formed via chemical reaction. The example here is the burning of gasoline. Gasoline's two main byproducts are water and carbon dioxide.
Hydrogen as an atom has one electron making it unstable. Put a second hydrogen atom next to the first and the two atoms will share electrons to fill the first energy level the atom needs to be stable.
