Why a tetrahedral molecule containing four identical bonds can never be a polar molecule?

If there are 4 identical bonds, then there are equal pulls on all four bonds. Equal pulls = non polarity.


How many covalent bonds are found in methane?

there are four covalent bonds between carbon and hydrogen in methane (CH4).


How many covalent bonds does CH4?

There are four bonds.All are covalent bonds.


How can you tell that methane is saturated?

We know that methane is saturated, because carbon can form a maximum of four bonds, and methane is a molecule in which a carbon atom is bound to four hydrogen atoms, so it has reached its limit.


Does Methane have single or double bonds?

No methane does not contain a triple bond. Methane is a covalent compound: in one molecule of methane, there are four hydrogen atoms covalently bonded to one hydrogen atom each by a single covalent bond (i.e., one single bond between each hydrogen atom and the carbon atom).


Is methane a diatomic molecule?

No. A diatomic molecule contains two atoms. A molecule of methane contains one atom of carbon and four of hydrogen for a total of five.


How many atoms does a molecule of methane contain?

The molecule of methane has 5 atoms.


Methane has four covalent bonds and how many lone pairs?

None.


How does methane have geometry?

Methane has tetrahedral geometry. In methane carbon undergoes sp3 hybridisation. The four sp3 hybrid orbitals form four sigma bonds with four 1s orbitals of hydrogen atoms.


What bonds are broken during the combustion of methane CH4 to form water and carbon dioxide?

All four C-H bonds in methane are broken during combustion.
