The hydrogen molecule which  has two H atoms weakly bound together emits only a molecular band spectrum which is in ehe infrared region.

These band lines are very closely spaced line spectrum. This is quite different from the line spectrum emitted by H atom  which is due to

electron transitions between atomic levels in H atom. The line spectra of H atom lie in a different region than the band spectrum of H molecule

and hence they are seen separately without confusion.
