Methane is a molecule with the formula of CH4 .!!!

It is only unbalanced if it is involved in a chemical reaction (combustion).

e.g.

CH4 + O2 = 2H2O + C

Here it is unbalanced(too much CH4) because CO2( Carbon Dioxide ) is the other product, which is NOT produced in this reaction.

The equation

CH4 + 2O2 = 2H2O + CO2

Methane is now balanced, just the correct quantity for the reaction to complete.

NB For all compounds, they are neither balanced nor unbalanced. It is the quantities that are reacted that make the reaction (un)/balanced.
