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.

Do all organic molecules carry oxygen?
No. By definition, organic molecules are chains of carbon atoms of varying lengths. Any other atom can bond with these carbon atoms. For instance, methane (CH4) does not contain any oxygen atom.
Are there molecules in oxygen?
No, Oxygen is an atom, and as such is composed of protons, neutrons and electrons. There are no molecules in oxygen, but a single oxygen atom becomes a molecule when it is combined with another oxygen atom to form O2.
Distance between hydrogen to hydrogen atom in methane molecules?
1.79 Angstroms
What is the molecular shape of a methane molecule CH4?
The molecular shape of methane (CH4) is tetrahedral (Four hydrogen atoms surround a carbon atom in three-dimensional space) with sp3 orbital hybridization.
What is meant by the methane molecule has tetrahedral geometry?
It means that the 4 hydrogen atoms of a methane molecule are at the vertices of a regular tetrahedron with the carbon atom at its centre.
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.
Is a oxygen a atom or molecule?
Oxygen is an atomic element. It is found in many molecules.
Is oxygen a molecule or a atom?
Oxygen is an atomic element. It is found in many molecules.
How many oxygen atom are in 5 molecules oh H2so4?
Five molecules of H2SO4 contains 20 atoms of Oxygen
What are the structural differences normal atmospheric oxygen and ozone molecules?
Ozone and oxygen are a bit similar. Ozone is a 3 atom and oxygen is 2 atom.
Is ozone an atom or molecules?
Ozone is a molecule of three bonded oxygen atoms: O3
What is the molecular geometry of a methane (CH4) molecule?
Methane has a tetrahedral molecular geometry. It has 4 bonding pairs of electrons and no lone pairs.
