Draw the Lewis Structure for CH4.

Methane (CH₄)

Valence electrons of carbon = 4

Valence electrons of hydrogen = 1

The total number of the valence electrons = 4 + 4 (1) = 8

The Lewis structure is drawn in such a way that the octet of each atom and duet for the hydrogen in the molecule is complete. So,

The Lewis structure is:

H

:

H : C : H

:

H
