Covalent bonds are between non-metals only. Methane is a hydrocarbon (CH4. Therefore it is COVALENTLY bonded because of the bonds between carbon (non-metal) and hydrogen (non-metal). Ionic compounds only apply to those made of metals and non-metals.

Is Carbon tetrahydride a ionic or covalent bond?
CH4, methane is covalently bonded
Does hydrogen form an ionic bond?
The answer is Yes and No: Yes, ionic bond in (strong) acids like HCl. No, in CH4 methane they all are covalent bonds
What type of bonding holds a methane molecule together?
Covalent bonds are the intramolecular forces that hold the hydrogens to the carbon in methane, CH4. The intermolecular forces holding several methane molecules together are London dispersion forces (van der Waals forces).
What are two examples of how bonds can form?
The most common chemical bonds are ionic (as in sodium chloride) or covalent (as in methane). The ionic bond is based on the electrostatic attraction; the covalent bond is based on the sharing of electrons.
