It has been found that a methane molecule has a three-dimensional tetrahedral structure. The four carbon hydrogen tetrahedral structure. The four carbon hydrogen bonds are directed towards the four corners of tetrahedron. In such a configuration, none of the participating atoms is more electrically charged as compared to other atoms. Hence methane molecule is a non polar covalent compound.
Why is methane molecule regarded as a non-polar covalent compound ?
