Because $C H_{4}$ $CH_4$ is the formula of the methane molecule.......i.e. a carbon nucleus can form up to $4 \times C - H$ $4xxC-H$ bonds......

Explanation:

$Methane$ $"Methane"$ is the first of a series of the homologous alkanes, general formula, $C_{n} H_{2 n + 2}$ $C_nH_(2n+2)$ . The next member is $ethane$ $"ethane"$ , $C_{2} H_{6}$ $C_2H_6$ , then $propane$ $"propane"$ , $C_{3} H_{8}$ $C_3H_8$ ........
