Methane (CH4 ) is a gas that is found in small quantities in Earth's atmosphere. Select the correct responses that make the whole statement accurate. (4 points) The bonds in methane are because hydrogen and carbon have electronegativity. Carbon bonds with four hydrogen atoms because hydrogen has valence electron(s) and carbons has valence electrons; so carbon shares valence electron(s) with each of the four hydrogen atoms to satisfy the necessary valence electrons for carbon and for hydrogen to become .

The bonds in methane are covalent bonds because hydrogen and carbon have relatively similar electronegativity. Carbon bonds with four hydrogen atoms because hydrogen has one valence electron and carbon has four valence electrons; so carbon shares one valence electron with each of the four hydrogen atoms to satisfy the necessary valence electrons for carbon and for hydrogen to become stable.
