H2(g) ⇌ 2H(g) is 1.2 × 10-42 at 500 K. Does the equilibrium mixture contain mainly hydrogen molecules or hydrogen atoms?

When the value of KC is very low (that is, KC < 10-3), then at equilibrium, only a small fraction of the reactants is converted into products.
For the given reaction,
KC <<< 10 at 500 K.
Hence,
The equilibrium mixture contains mainly hydrogen molecules.
