Instructions: Draw the Lewis structure of methane (CH4)

STEP BY STEP
 First each hydrogen has only one electron to donate or.
The lewis structure or lewis dot diagram shows the
bonding between atoms of a molecule and any electrons
that may exist. Explains how to draw the lewis dot
structure for ch 4 methane.

 This is because they can share a maximum of two

electrons. In the formal way we find how many electrons
we have step 1 how many each atom needs step 2 how many
of those are bonding step 3 4 and how many are lone pairs
step 5. The ch 4 lewis structure is one of the most
frequently tested lewis structures.

 Ch4 lewis structure lewis structure for ch4 methane

hellotoday i am going to draw the lewis dot structure for
ch₄ in just four steps. Note that hydrogen atoms always
go on the outside of a lewis dot structure. The lewis dot
structure for nh3 ammonia is shown above.

 The lewis structure for li is li with one dot to the

right of the element. I would be lazy and look it up on
the internet. You could also represent the bonds as dots
between the two atoms but this may be confused with the
lone pair electrons on the nitrogen.

 The lewis dot structure for ch4 is shown BELOW. Methane

for the ch4 lewis structure calculate the total number of
valence electrons for the ch4 molecule ch4 has 8. What is
the lewis dot structure for ch4.

 Each atom in the bond has a full valence with carbon

having access to eight electrons and each hydrogen having
access to two this is why hydrogen only needs two. But
seriously you have an electron pair between the c and
each of the hs in the lewis diagram a ala why is that the
correct diagram you ask. These kinds of structures can
also be shown by representing each of the bonds with two
dots.
Answer

In CH4, the central atom is a carbon.

In electron dot structure we represent the
valence electron of the element.
Thus, Carbon has 4 electrons in its electron
dot structure and hydrogen has one.
They share electrons to form a C−H single bond.
