Answer 2

Answer:

Explanation:

• Carbon, in all its allotropic forms., burns in oxygen to give carbon dioxide along with the release of heat and light. This is known as Combustion reaction.

       Ex:    $CH_{4} +O_{2}$   ⇒ $CO_{2} +H_{2}O +Heat+light$

• In a very fast reaction, if one type of atom or group of atoms takes the place of another, it is known as a Substitution reaction.

       Ex:    $CH_{4} +Cl_{2}$  ⇒ $CH_{3}Cl +HCl_{}$   (in the presence of sunlight).

• Methane is a saturated hydrocarbon it has all single bonds hence it cannot be subjected to addition reaction. Only unsaturated hydrocarbons add oxygen through oxidising agents to form saturated hydrocarbons.
