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

answeredThe correct answer is C. No, there is not because it would form H2 instead of methane if hydrogen bonded with itself.
In methane (CH4), each hydrogen atom is bonded to the carbon atom, and there are no hydrogen-hydrogen bonds in the molecule. Hydrogen atoms can form diatomic molecules (H2) when they bond with each other, but in the case of methane, each hydrogen is bonded to the carbon atom. Therefore, the hydrogen atoms do not bond with each other in methane.
