Methane Lewis Structure Polarity. The molecular structure of the methane molecule ch 4 is shown with a tetrahedral arrangement of the hydrogen atoms vsepr structures like this one are often drawn using the wedge and dash notation in which solid lines represent bonds in the plane of the page solid wedges represent bonds coming up out of the plane and dashed lines represent bonds going down into the plane. As stated previously methane is non polar.
The tetrahedral geometry with the contributes to the effect this is a symmetrical molecule with electronegativities of the carbon and hydrogen almost the same with carbon just slightly higher. For better understanding you can refer to the article written on the polarity of ch4. The methane molecule ch 4 can be used to illustrate the procedure for predicting molecular shape.
