Hello, people!
I would like to know if is possible to Hydrogen+ make two bonds with two atoms, of the same element or not.
Ex: X-H-X or Y-H-Y

I believe for this kind of chemical reaction be possible, Hydrogen must be ionized, like H+, right?

It is hard to make a chemical reaction to obtain this kind of molecule?

Thank you!

Stable? No.  But there are well-known transient, short-lived examples, including H₃.

In space, the ion is quite abundant:

Or look into diborane, or similar?

[Corribus]

Right, forgot about the boranes, although these are still ultimately a 1:1 ratio between H and B for the central hydrogens.  Nice call, though, sjb.

This molecule is stable?

Diborane, dialane and the gallium analogue are very reactive.  I believe the alane and gallium versions have only been isolated at low temperatures in sold matrices.
