Answer:
Methane has its molecular formula CH4.
It is formed by one carbon atom and four hydrogen atom.
Hydrogen has its valency 1 and carbon being tetravalent needs four valence electrons to acquire noble gas configuration, where it shares its 4 electrons with four hydrogen atoms.
Therefore, the valency of carbon atom in Methane (CH4) is 4.
