Question

How is methane formed? Give structural formula electron dot structure of methane

Answer 1

Methane is formed by the decomposition of nutrients.

Explanation:

• Methane is a hydrocarbon and is an organic compound of carbon and hydrogen.
• Methane is formed by the mutual sharing of electrons between carbon ad hydrogen atom, therefore, the chemical nature of the bond is a covalent bond.
• It is an odorless, colorless, and highly flammable gas.
• It is formed by the degradation of materials.
• The dot structural formula is
