Answer:
Methane, the main component of natural gas, is a nonpolar molecule. In it, four hydrogen atoms surround a single carbon in a three-dimensional arrangement shaped like a four-sided pyramid. The symmetry of the hydrogens on the corners of the pyramid evenly distribute electric charge on the molecule, making it nonpolar.

______________________________
Methane is a non-polar molecule:
The tetrahedral geometry with the contributes to the effect. This is a symmetrical molecule with electronegativities of the carbon and hydrogen almost the same with carbon just slightly higher.
