Methane is a polyatomic molecule.

• The chemical formula of methane is $CH_{4}$
• It is a hydrocarbon.
• It has one carbon atom and four hydrogen atoms.
• Thus there are five atoms in methane which makes it polyatomic.
• The five atoms are linked by covalent bonds.
• Therefore it is a covalent compound.
