Methane is the molecule being described in this question. It has a chemical formula of CH4 where four hydrogen atoms are bonded to one central carbon atom. Carbon as well as hydrogen are non-metallic elements, which means that they can only share their valence electrons to form a COVALENT BOND.
A covalent bond is a type of chemical bond in which two atoms share their valence electrons. It occurs between two non-metallic atoms. In this molecule, CH4, carbon and hydrogen share their valence electrons to form a covalent bond.
