      Solution

      Methane (CH₄) is a simple carbon compound commonly used as fuel and a major component of biogas and CNG. In this molecule, carbon has 4 valence electrons (making it tetravalent), while hydrogen has 1 valence electron. This electronic structure allows carbon to form four bonds with hydrogen atoms in methane.
