True.
Methane (CH₄) is made up of one carbon atom and four hydrogen atoms. The electronegativity difference between carbon (about 2.55) and hydrogen (about 2.20) is approximately 0.35, which is generally considered small. As a result, the bonds formed between carbon and hydrogen in methane are classified as nonpolar covalent bonds. Therefore, the statement is true.
