Question

how is the methane molecules formed​

Answer 1

Answer:

The bonds in a methane (CH4) molecule are formed by four separate but equivalent orbitals; a single 2s and three 2p orbitals of the carbon hybridize into four sp3 orbitals. In the ammonia molecule (NH3), 2s and 2p orbitals create four sp3hybrid orbitals, one of which is occupied by a lone pair of electrons.

Answer 2

Answer:

Methane is produced by hydrogenating carbon dioxide through the Sabatier process. Methane is also a side product of the hydrogenation of carbon monoxide in the Fischer–Tropsch process, which is practiced on a large scale to produce longer-chain molecules than methane.
