H^+ ion has no electrons in it, whereas H^- has two electrons.

Explanation:

The atomic number of H is (Z=1) ;Electronic configuration is 1s^2 .

H^+ is formed by losing an electron and it contains only a proton, hence it is commonly called as a "proton, hydronium ion".
The electronic configuration of H^+ is 1s^0, in its ground state.

H^- is formed by gaining an electron and it contains two electron in the atom, it is commonly called as "Hydride ion".
The electronic configuration of H^- is 1s^2, in its ground state.
