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).
