Can you call H_2 an Atom? I am currently studying to complete the Chemistry CLEP exam, I ran into this question and was thoroughly confused by the phrase


  12.04x10^23 atoms of H_2


According to the question, this corresponds to 12.04X10^23 molecules (2 moles) of H_2, or 24.08x10^23 atoms (4 moles) of Hydrogen. The use of the word "atom" over "molecule" seems useless, confusing, and possibly wrong.

I'm not sure if this question is written poorly or if I have made a mistake in my grammar either way, any help is appreciated. Thank you!
The question is indeed poorly worded. What the question seems to be saying is that there are $12.04\times10^{23}$ molecules of hydrogen gas/dihydrogen ($\ce{H2}$).

I'm also noting that the correct answer ends with "... $\pu{44.8L}$ of $\ce{H2O}$ present", while there was absolutely no mention of $\ce{H2O}$. The question is quite misleading.
