The carbon is in the middle;
this is a tetrahedral shape,
and there are zero lone pairs.

How many valence electrons does CH4?
In CH4 molecule, the Carbon atom initially has four valence electrons, which are all used to form covalent bonds with the four Hydrogen atom. Hydrogen atom has only one valence electron, which is also used to form bonds with Carbon. Overally, there is no valence lone pair of electron in a molecule of CH4
What is the hybridization of each carbon atom in C13H18O2?
The actual structure of the molecule is needed to answer this as there are more than one compounds with the formula asked in the question.
Is covalent molecular?
A covalent bond is one in which atoms within a molecule share pairs of electrons (hence the term covalent or "mutual electron state"). It is not clear to me what is meant by "molecular" in your question, but the bond is intramolecular(or inside the molecule). A covalent bond is a type of molecular bond, if that is the question.
What is meant by Intrinsic polarization?
I have been through many chemistry classes before and have never come across this exact phrase, but I think I may know what you mean. Certain atoms draw electrons more strongly than others, for a wide variety of reasons. Therefore in some molecules, electrons are more likely to be found in one area of the molecule than in another. For example, fluorine attracts electrons very strongly and carbon and hydrogen do not. Therefore in a molecule such as CH3F the electrons would be drawn more closely to the fluorine in the molecule than the carbon. This gives the fluorine end of the molecule a permanent negative charge and the carbon a permanent positive charge (and thusly the polarity is intrinsic to the molecules structure). This is opposed to other molecules in which polarity is transient (inconsistently present) because none of the atoms draw on the electrons more strongly than the other atoms. In a molecule of ethane (C2H6) neither carbon draws electrons more strongly. You can, however, get polarity if by chance more of the electrons travel to one side of the molecule (remember that electrons obey quantum mechanics and can appear anywhere in a given cloud) and create a temporary negative charge. Therefore polarity can be present, but it isn't intrinsic (the polarity had nothing to do with the electronegativities of the atoms). Sorry if I misinterpreted the question.
How many protons neutrons electrons does a chlorine molecule?
Chlorine has an atomic number of 17. Thus, neutral chlorine will have 17 protons and 17 electrons. Chlorine's most common isotope is 35Cl, meaning it has 35 - 17 = 18 neutrons. *****************************2nd Opinion************* Since the question was about a chlorine molecule, shouldn't the answer be about Cl2? 34 p and 36 n

How do you find the number of protons and electrons of a molecule?
Use the Related Question for how to find the number of protons and electrons in an atom and then add up the number of each atom for each atom in the molecule.

What is the atomic structure of lead?
Lead sulfate (PbSO4) is an ionic compound. It consists of a lead ion (Pb2+) and a sulfate ion (SO42-) bound together in an ionic bond. The structure of the sulfate ion is a sulfur atom surrounded by 4 oxygen atoms.

The molecule most associated with the names Watson and Crick is DNA, which has ... a complicated structure, if you look at the details. But the answer the question is probably looking for is "double helix".
