What type of bonding does methanol have?
it has hydrogen bond (H-O)
Why is methane insoluble but methanol is soluble?
Generally speaking 'like dissolves like' so when you thinking if a molecule can dissolve in a particular solvent, you need to decide what type of bonding that solvent can exhibit and what bonding the molecule in question exhibits. So for example water can exhibit hydrogen bonding. This means for something to be able soluble in water, it too needs to be able to exhibit hydrogen bonding. Methane only contains hydrogen and carbon and thus, will not exhibit hydrogen bonding. However, methanol has carbon, hydrogen and oxygen and therefore, can exhibit hydrogen bonding. As a result, using the 'like dissolve like' approach we can see why methane will be insoluble in water but methanol will be soluble.
