methane is a gas at normal temperature. It belongs to the group of Alkanes (hydrocarbons) e.g methane ethane,propane,butane, pentane, hexane, heptane, octane,nonane, decane.....

It also smells eggy because the gas dudes put an artificial smell in it so you will realise it is there so you don't implode or explode or just generally die

Alkanes. Methane belongs to alkanes or unsaturated hydrocarbons,i.e. paraffins. It is also called marsh gas

_______________________________

Methane, CH4, belongs to a family of compounds known as hydrocarbons (a combination of hydrogen and carbon, and nothing else).

And since it is a hydrocarbon that has only single bonds, it is an alkane.
