Answer:

  • Carbon is a central atom in the molecules of methane. The atomic number of carbon is 6, so its electronic configuration is 2,4.
  • Thus carbon has four valence electrons in its L shell.
  • Therefore it needs four more electrons to fill L shell.
  • Carbon shares its four valence electrons with one electron each of k shell of four hydrogen atoms to form a molecule of methane.
  • As a result, carbon atom of methane attains the electronic configuration of its nearest noble gas Neon, which has 8 electrons in its valence shell ,while hydrogen atom attains the electronic configuration of its nearest noble gas Helium.

We know that;

  • Methane(CH₄) is an Covalent Bond.
  • It contains Covalent Bonds.

Atomic number of Carbon Atom is 6.

Electric Configuration of  Carbon Atom is 2,4.

Then;

1 atom of Carbon shares it's 4 electrons with 4 atoms of Hydrogen.

Then, they form a Covalent Bond Methane(CH₄).
