what type of bond joins the carbon atom to each of the hydrogen atoms? a molecule that consists of four hydrogen atoms and one carbon atom. hydrogen atoms are connected to the carbon atom by an electron pair each. these electron pairs are located at the intersection of the electron shell of hydrogens and the outer electron shell of the carbon atom. moreover, the carbon atom has its own electron pair in the inner electron shell. what type of bond joins the carbon atom to each of the hydrogen atoms? a molecule that consists of four hydrogen atoms and one carbon atom. hydrogen atoms are connected to the carbon atom by an electron pair each. these electron pairs are located at the intersection of the electron shell of hydrogens and the outer electron shell of the carbon atom. moreover, the carbon atom has its own electron pair in the inner electron shell. polar covalent hydrogen double (nonpolar) covalent ionic single (nonpolar) covalent
