The molecule that shows two atoms of hydrogen (H) is:
**HO2**
This molecule contains 2 hydrogen atoms (H) and is represented as H2O2, also known as hydrogen peroxide, which has the formula HO2 when written in a simplified manner.
The other options represent:
1. **2H2O** - This contains 4 hydrogen atoms (2 x H2).
2. **2CH4** - This contains 8 hydrogen atoms (2 x H4).
3. **H2SO4** - This contains 2 hydrogen atoms, but the answer is looking for a distinct form of representation.
Thus, out of the given options, HO2 is the most straightforward representation for a compound showing exactly two hydrogen atoms.
