Answer 2

Answer: Option (a) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Atomic number of carbon is 6 and its electronic distribution is 2, 4. Hence, to complete its octet it needs to acquire 4 more electrons from another atom.

Whereas atomic number of hydrogen is 1 and in order to complete its octet it needs to gain one more electron.

So, when a carbon atom comes in contact with 4 hydrogen atoms there there occurs sharing of valence electrons by each atom.

As it is known that a bond formed by sharing of electrons is known as a covalent bond.

Thus, we can conclude that in $C + 4H \rightarrow CH_{4}$ the bond formed between the elements is covalent bond.
