Methane cannot be subjected to the addition reaction.
Explanation:
- Saturated hydrocarbons do not undergo addition reaction because the bond between carbon atoms is already a single bond and they are stable.
- Methane is a saturated hydrocarbon it has all single bonds hence it does not show addition reaction.
- Unsaturated hydrocarbon undergo addition reaction to add another atom to the carbon atoms forming double or triple bond so that they can form alkane which is more stable than Alkene or Alkyne.
