describe the formation of covalent bond in methane (5 marks) ​

Answer :

Answer:

Explanation:

The structure of the methane, CH4, molecule exhibits single covalent bonds. Covalent bonding involves the sharing of electrons. In the methane molecule, the four hydrogen atom share one electron each with the carbon atom

Answer: Covalent bonding is when atoms of different elements  share electrons

Explanation: Taking Methane CH₄

it contains Hydrogen and Carbon atoms pairing electrons. the electronic configuration for carbon is 2,4 that is to say it has 4 electrons in its valence shell (outer shell) and hydrogen has 1 so carbon shares its four electrons with four hydrogen atoms thus forming a covalent bond. so they now have a stable arrangement of electrons in their outer shell ,thus giving CH₄
