No, in CH3F all the hydrogen atoms are bonded to carbon, which is not very electronegative. In order to form hydrogen bonds a molecule must have hydrogen bonded directly to ahifhly electronegative element such as nitrogen, oxygen, or fluorine.

No. Hydrogen only occurs when hydrogen is bonded to an Oxygen, Nitrogen, or Fluorine because they are so electronegative it creates a partially positive and partially negative charge on the two bond components allowing for hydrogen bonding. Methane is already stable. There is no valence electron left as carbon's four valence electron has been filled with 4 hydrogens. Somemore, Hydrogen bonding is only formed when there is a valence Hydrogen electrons and oxygen's valence electrons

No, hydrogen bonding only occurs where hydrogen is bonded to nitrogen (N), Oxygen (O), and Fluorine (F).

No it can't form hydrogen bonds.Electro negativity is not sufficient.

CH4O is methanol, CH3OH. As with all of the alcohols there is hydrogen bonding involving the hydrogen bonded to oxygen.

Is CH4 hydrogen bonding?

Hydrogen bonding usually occurs between molecules that have a hydrogen atom bonded to either Fluorine, Oxygen or Nitrogen. So technically CH4 cannot hydrogen bond (certainly not between it's own molecules). However a recent A-Level exam paper had a multiple choice question which said that CH4 molecules CAN hydrogen bond with itself.
