उत्तर
During the formation of a non-polar covalent bond between two similar atoms or dissimilar atoms, the atoms involved in sharing share the electrons equally. The molecule of methane has four carbon-hydrogen single covalent bonds. It is a non-polar covalent compound as the electrons are shared by the carbon and hydrogen atoms equally and hence the shared pair lies between the atoms at an equal distance from both carbon and hydrogen atom.
