Answer:
Methane (CH4 ) is a covalent compound containing covalent bonds. Therefore, one atom of carbon shares its four electrons with four atoms of hydrogen to form four covalent bonds.
The methane molecule is held together by the four strong C–H carbon–hydrogen covalent bonds by sharing electrons. ... (displayed formula) with four carbon – hydrogen single covalent bonds (A level note: its called a tetrahedral shape, the H–C–H bond angle is 109o).
four covalent bonds
There are four covalent bonds in the methane, and in each of the bonds, a pair of electrons is shared between the carbon and one of the hydrogens. The result is a relatively simple covalent molecule with four covalent bonds, CH4.
