Answer:
Methane is the simplest hydrocarbon with formula CH4
On combustion:
CH4 + O2 = CO2 + H20 ( Methane on combustion forms carbon dioxide and water)
On substitution
In substitution reaction a saturated hydrocarbon when reacts with chlorine in presence of sunlight and chlorine displaces the saturated hydrocarbon.
CH4 + CL2 = CH3CL + HCL
Addition reaction is a type of reaction in which unsaturated hydrocarbon in presence of catalyst gets converted into saturated hydrocarbon.
Methane being a saturated hydrocarbon won't undergo addition reaction.
Hope this helps!!
