If we are talking about one single carbon atom, then 4 hydrogen atoms can be bonded to a carbon atom, because there is 4 electrons in the valence shell, and a valence shell needs 8 electrons in total, which causes the carbon to have 4 open bonds. A hydrogen has only one electron in its valence shell of 2, and needs one more to complete it. So, each hydrogen connects to 1 of 4 bonds on the carbon to complete the valence electron.
Fun fact, CH4 is methane.

How many atoms lined up side by side would equal the thickness of a book page?
harina [27]
More than 1 million atoms lined up side by side would equal the thickness of a book page. The modern atomic theory was proposed in 1803 by English chemist John Dalton. His premise is based on the fact that all elements are composed of atoms. An atom is defined as the smallest part of an element. It also keeps the identity of the element. Individual atoms are very small. Most elements in their pure form exist as individual atoms. Some elements are made up of groups of atoms.
