In the Lewis structure of methane, the central carbon atom is surrounded by four hydrogen atoms. The carbon atom forms four single covalent bonds with the hydrogen atoms, resulting in a tetrahedral arrangement. The bonds are represented by lines, and the hydrogen atoms are represented by the letter H. The overall Lewis structure can be written as:
H - C - H
