Answer:

6

Step-by-step explanation:

The only numbers you count are the ones after the letter H. In this chemical formula there are two H's. If the H didn't have any number after it, it would be 1, but there is a 3 after the first H and a 3 after the other H. Therefore, there is 6 hydrogen atoms.
