The bonds in methane are covalent because hydrogen and carbon have different electronegativity. Carbon bonds with four hydrogen atoms because hydrogen has one valence electron(s) and carbon has four valence electrons: so carbon shares one valence electron(s) with each of the four hydrogen atoms to satisfy the necessary four valence electrons for carbon and two for hydrogen to become stable.
