Solution Steps

Step 1: Identify the Nature of Hydrogen

Hydrogen, represented by the chemical formula \(\mathrm{H}_{2}\), is a diatomic molecule consisting of two hydrogen atoms. It is the simplest and most abundant element in the universe.

Step 2: Determine if Hydrogen is an Element or Compound

An element is a pure substance consisting of only one type of atom. A compound, on the other hand, is a substance formed when two or more different types of atoms bond together. Since \(\mathrm{H}_{2}\) consists solely of hydrogen atoms, it is classified as an element.

Final Answer

\(\boxed{\text{Element}}\)
