The Lewis structure of the methane  CH4  molecule consists of a central carbon atom surrounded by four hydrogen atoms. Each hydrogen atom shares a single electron with the carbon atom, forming a single covalent bond. In total, there are four single covalent bonds formed between the carbon and hydrogen atoms in the methane molecule.The Lewis structure can be represented as:       H       |    H--C--H       |       H
