The correct answers are:
the electron would not move in circular orbit.
,
the electrons, orbit would go around the protons
As we know that, A hydrogen molecule contain two electrons and two protons whereas ionised $\mathrm{H}$ - molecule consists of an electron and two protons.
In $\mathrm{H}$ - molecules two protons are separated by a small distance of the order of angstrom. In the ground state the electron would not move in circular orbits, orbit electron around the protons.
