How do you tell if there is a spin between bonds in molecules?

how can you tell about electron spins between bonds on the CH4 molecule? For example given the lewis structure of methane (CH4), what are the electron spins between the bonds? I’m a little confused here.

hey, when you have 2 electrons in the same orbital, you will always have one spinning up and one spinning down… its about balance, if both electrons were spinning the same direction, they could not stay in they’re orbits…
