Question

How many covalent bond does carbon forms in methane (CH4) molecule​

Answer 1

Answer:

Carbon has four electrons in its valence shell. To completes its octet, it shares its four electrons with other atoms to create four bonds, thus becoming stable. The bonds that are formed by sharing electrons are known as covalent bonds.

THUS,

it has 4 covalent bonds

Answer 2

In the formation of methane,CH4 molecule,carbon contributes 4 electrons (one electron to each hydrogen atom) and 4 hydrogen atoms contribute one election each.Thus in CH4 molecule,there are four C - H covalent bond .
