Question

Explain the combustion and substitution reactions of carbon compounds
by taking methane as an example.
Write the chemical equations for the above reactions. Can methane be
subjected to addition reaction ? Give reason.​

Answer 1

Answer:

when carbon burn in oxygen to give carbon dioxide, heat and light is called combustion

ex -CH4 + O2= CO2+H2O+heat and light

when more reactive element replace less reactive element is called substitution.

ex- CH4+ CL2 =CH3Cl+HCl(in the presence of sunlight)
