Question

Is methane a single covalent bond?

Answer 1

1. Covalent Bond- Covalent bond is formed by the sharing of electrons. Most of the organic compounds are covalently bonded.
2. A covalent bond is stronger than any other chemical bond.
3. Methane composition shows a single covalent bond. Four hydrogen atoms share one electron each with the carbon atom in the methane molecule.
4. The chemical formula of methane molecule is (${\mathbf{CH}}_{\mathbf{4}}$). The geometry of methane is tetrahedral.
5. The structure of methane is given for a better understanding of its covalency.

Hence, methane features a single covalent bond.
