The formula CH2N2 describes a molecule made of 1 carbon atom, 2 hydrogen atoms and 2 nitrogen atoms. It is written in Hill notation: carbon first, then hydrogen, then the other elements in alphabetical order. The formula tells you which atoms are present, not how they are connected, which is why several different chemicals can share it.
