Question

draw the electron dot structure of CH4

Answer 1

electron dot structure of CH4

Answer 2

The electron dot structure of CH4 -

• The electron dot structures are used to show the bond formation among the elements of a covalent chemical compound.
• Similarly, the CH4 is also a covalent compound.
• There are 4 valence electrons of the central carbon atom and each of the four hydrogen atoms have 1 valence electrons.
• Due,to the electron sharing, the fulfilment of the octet of the central carbon atom, takes place. And, one single bond is formed with each of the four hydrogen atoms. (Total four covalent bonds.)
• The diagram is attached below which shows the electron sharing in a better way.
