Methane's chemical formula is CH. Is there a bond between any of the hydrogen atoms? Why or why not? (1 point)

O No, there is not because carbon needs four bonds, so it bonds with each hydrogen atom; hydrogen only forms one bond.
Yes, there is because they form a long chain in order to all have stable outer energy shells.
O No, there is not because it would form H2 instead of methane if hydrogen bonded with itself.
Yes, there is because there are one too many hydrogen atoms for carbon to handle alone, so one hydrogen must bond with another.

Answer:

No, there is not because it would form H2 instead of methane if hydrogen bonded with itself.

Step-by-step explanation:

from the shape of methane which is tetrahedral it's evident there's no hydrogen bond only C-H bond.
