Arrhenius acids are ones that give up protons when dissolved in water. Methane is a non-polar molecule which means it is insoluble in water and, therefore, is not an Arrhenius acid. It cannot be described as a Lewis acid or base either because it doesn't donate protons or an electron pair nor does it receive them.
Br- is a Lewis base.
Neither. Methane is neutral.
Sf6 acts as an lewis acid............
CH4 is neither and acid nor a base. A solution containing methane would have a pH of 7.

CH4 is neither and acid nor a base. A solution containing methane would have a pH of 7.
Methane can be protonated by superacids to the carbonium ion: H+ + CH4 -> [CH5]+ So methane is a Lewis base but, like helium, it is an exceedingly feeble proton abstractor. and They can lose a proton, but their tendency to lose a proton is so small that the term acid would not normally be applied to them.
Neither, it's a salt.
Lewis acid is an electron acceptor / Lewis base is an electron donor. It is helpful to use this definition of acid and base in (1) organic chemistry (2) also when there are no Hydrogens present in the molecule. BF3 is a Lewis acid it seeks out and can accept electrons.
PMe3 is a Lewis base(elctron donor).
Being amphoteric water can react both: Lewis acid and Lewis base.
CH4 is generally not considered an acid.
