It is a saturated hydrocarbon. It is a covalent compound and has all properties which are identical to simple covalent compounds. Low boiling and melting points, soluble in organic solvents (most simple covalent compounds are soluble in organic solvent), insoluble in water and does not conduct electricity as in does not have free ions.

Its tetrahedral geometry makes it non-polar.

It contains four hydrogen atoms
