How many valence electrons does CH4?

Answer 1

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

Answer 2

There are no non-bonding electrons in CH4. (silly question)

Answer 3

8 Electrons

C= 4

H= 1

4+4(1)=8

Answer 4

..

:F:

each F atom, will have 6 (3 pairs) of nonbonding electrons

Answer 5

There are no valence electrons.It is non polar.
