• Answer:-

    Methane (CH?) is a nonpolar molecule. It has a symmetrical tetrahedral structure, with four hydrogen atoms evenly distributed around a central carbon atom. The carbon-hydrogen bonds have a slight difference in electronegativity, but because the molecule is perfectly symmetrical, these differences cancel out, making it nonpolar. This nonpolarity means methane does not mix well with water but dissolves in nonpolar solvents. It is also a gas at room temperature and is used as a fuel. Since methane is nonpolar, it does not form hydrogen bonds, which affects its behavior in the atmosphere and its role as a greenhouse gas.
