How many molecules of oxygen are needed for the incomplete combustion of one molecule of methane?

Oxygen is NOT a PRODUCT (it is not produced) from the complete combustion of methane, it is a REACTANT (it is used in the reaction). The answer is therefore a mass of zero.


How many molecules of oxygen are needed to burn one molecule of fuel?

That depends on the fuel. Natural gas, methane, needs 2 molecules of oxygen, but gasoline, octane, needs 17 molecules of oxygen.


How many oxygen atom is in the centre of a methane molecules?

Actually methane molecules have no oxygen atoms. Methane is an organic compound ( a gas at room temperature) which is composed of only carbon and hydrogen atoms. Each methane molecule has 1 carbon atom bonded to 4 hydrogen atoms by covalent bonds.


What is the difference between a molecule of oxygen and a molecule of methane?

Most oxygen is found as a diatomic molecule. (Yes, there is some ozone, but not much down here. And it's unstable, spontaneously reverting to O2 in a few minutes.) There are two atoms of oxygen in an oxygen molecule. Methane is a carbon atom bonded to four hydrogen atoms. O2 and CH4 are the oxygen and methane molecules.
