There is 2 atoms in one molecule of sulfuric acid. (Hence the sub-scripted 2 that is next to the H in the sulfuric acid equation)

Answer:

There are two hydrogen atoms in one molecule of sulfuric acid

Step-by-step explanation:

Lewis structure of
H_(2)SO_(4) has been given below

In a molecule of
H_(2)SO_(4), there are two hydrogen atoms bonded to two oxygen atoms and four oxygen atoms are bonded to one sulfur atom.

So, overall, there are two hydrogen atoms, four oxygen atoms and one sulfur atom in one
H_(2)SO_(4) molecule.
