An atom of hydrogen is a single species (H)

A molecule of hydrogen is a single species too (Hâ‚‚)

So what's the difference?

Let us look at total electrons in system.

H atom has 1 electron in total.

H molecule has 2 electrons total.

Hence the difference is clear. H molecule has 2 H atoms bonded by a single bond. Both electrons in covalence.

However, an atom of H is a just a lonely atom.

Hope this helped
