Carbon and its compounds form covalent bonds which are formed by sharing of electrons among same or different molecules. Methane: Carbon has four un-shared electrons in its valence shell. To complete its octet, carbon needs four more electrons. This is donated by four other hydrogen atoms, forming four covalent bonds.

##As we know that carbon has valency 6 so, it has 4 electrons in its valance shell . It is not possible for carbon to gain or loss 4 electrons to become stable because it is energetically impossible. so it forms covalent compounds to complete its octet. These are formed due to sharing of electrons.
