Glucose: carbon atom central to the methane molecule has 4 valence electrons and thus needs 4 more electrons from four hydrogen atoms to complete its octet. The hydrogen atoms have a 109 degree bond angle giving the molecule a tetrahedral geometry .
A principal component of natural gas, methane is significant . Burning one molecule of methane in the presence of oxygen releases one molecule of CO2[carbon dioxide) and two molecules of H2O (water):
Methane:CH4 + 2O2 ---> CO2 + 2H2O
The strength of the carbon hydrogen covalent bond in the methane molecule is among the strongest in all hydrocarbons, and thus its use as a chemical feedstock is limited. The search for which one can facilitate C-H bond activation in methane and other low alkanes is an area of research with considerable industrial significance.
Pure methane is odorless, but when used as a fuel it is usually mixed with small quantities of strongly-smelling sulfur compounds such as ethyl mercaptan to enable the detection of leaks. Me
