It has single covalent bonds between the carbon and hydrogens. These are C-H sigma bonds. They form by constructive overlap of the 1s orbitals on the hydrogens and sp3 hybrid orbitals on the carbon.

Methane is formed by the sharing of electrons between Hydrogen atoms and Carbon. Methane is formed by non-polar covalent bonding. It does not produce any dipole, so it's non-polar.

It's a nonpolar bond. If you're looking for molecular geometry, it would be a tetrahedral. It's nonpolar because there are no lone pairs of electrons and the pulls cancel out.
