Hydrogen has one valence electron while carbon has 4. Since this is a covalent bond, a molecule is formed so all you need do is draw a C for carbon with 4 dashes forming an... 'x' around the carbon. At the end of each carbon write a H for hydrogen
....H
....|
H-C-H
....|
....H
Something like that but all dashes the same length and ignoring the periods..

What has only 1 electron and behaves like an alkali?
There is no metal like you describe in your question. Hydrogen is in Group 1, but is not an alkali metal. It is a gas at standard temperature. It does rarely behave like an alkali metal, and it does have only one electron. Hydrogen is in Group 1 primarily because of its electron configuration, which is 1s1. All of the alkali metals also have one electron in their outermost s orbital.
What is like a alkali metal but has 1 electron?
Hydrogen.
Does H and HE have the same valence electron configuration?
Hydrogen and helium have different valence electron configurations. Hydrogen has one valence electron, and helium has two valence electrons. However, hydrogen does typically form covalent bonds in which it shares an electron, and thereby gains an effective electron configuration of two, like helium. Hydrogen also can form the H+ ion which has no electrons.
What is the Lewis Dot Diagram of CHO?
The Lewis Dot Diagram for CHO would show carbon with 4 dots around it (2 bonding pairs and 2 lone pairs), hydrogen with 1 dot, and oxygen with 6 dots (2 bonding pairs and 2 lone pairs). Carbon would be in the center with hydrogen and oxygen attached to it.
I have 1 electron and act like them im not really alkali metal.?
Hydrogen, it is one of the most difficult elements to classify: it can form +1 ions like the alkali metals, it can form -1 ions like the halogens, it is a nonmetal.
What does hydrogen fluoride electron dot diagram look like?
One bond and 6 unpaired electrons around fluroine.
How many covalent bonds between carbon and hydrogen?
There is only one covalent bond exists between carbon and hydrogen.carbon donates only one electron to hydrogen and even hydrogen has capacity to accept only one electron.
What is the electronic configuration of methane?
The central Carbon atom shared all 4 of it's outer shell (valence) electrons with 4 Hydrogen atoms (1 electron each), the Hydrogen atoms also share their lone valence electron with the carbon, each Carbon-Hydrogen bond (there are 4) is a sharing of 2 electrons one from each atom

Why do hydrogen like to make covalent bond?
Each hydrogen atom has one electron on its outer shell. The first electronic shell of any element can only hold 2 electrons, this means that each hydrogen atom needs one electron. 2 hydrogen atoms 'share' their electrons with each other, this can be shown on a dot and cross diagram. Each hydrogen now has 2 electrons on their outer shell and they have become stable. ;)

How many electrons are shared between the atoms in the molecules of methane and of water?
Chemical formula of methane is CH4, which means it has 1 atom of carbon and four atoms of hydrogen. If you check out PTE you see that both carbon and hydrogen are non-metals, which means they make a covalent bond. Carbon is in the 14th group (or 4th), which means it has 4 valence electrons (14 - 10). In order to get stable, carbon has to make a bond with every of those 4 electrons (so he could have 8 electrons in its valence shell, like the closest noble gas). Hydrogen is in the 1st group, so there's only 1 valence electron and hydrogen needs to make a bond with one more electron for stability (like closest noble gas Helium). So, you need 4 hydrogen atoms (each with one electron) to form a bond with everyone of carbon's 4 valence electrons - which in total is 8 electrons.
If hydrogen loses one electron will it be stable?
Hydrogen with its electron missing is a positive ion and like all ions is very chemically active, trying to become uncharged again.
