definitely ethane, although propane has even more, and butane has more than propane, etc.
No. Ethane and methane are both examples of molecular compounds.
Out of the given molecules, methane (CH4) and ethane (C2H6) will lie flat on a plane. Methane has a tetrahedral shape with carbon at the center and four hydrogen atoms attached to it, while ethane has a linear shape with two carbon atoms bonded together and six hydrogen atoms attached to the carbons. Ethene (C2H4), ethyne (C2H2), and chloromethane (CH3Cl) have bent or trigonal planar geometries, which means they won't lie flat on a plane.
Methane CH4-----------------------Methane is an alkane, which is any organic compound containing single bonds with only hydrogen and carbon. Ethane (C2H6) & propane (C3H8) are a couple more examples of alkanes.
No, it won't cause global warming, but it adds to it in a small way. Ethane (C2H6) is a gas derived from fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas), like methane. When burnt it also releases carbon dioxide (CO2), a powerful greenhouse gas. Ethane itself is also a greenhouse gas, though not as potent as methane. There are low levels of ethane in the atmosphere, as the sun's photochemical action turns some methane into ethane.
Chlorine
Butane because it contains more atoms and is heavier.
No. Ethane and methane are both examples of molecular compounds.
Hydrocarbons which include gasoline, methane, ethane, propane, butane, octane etc
There is a total of 8 atoms in Ethane.
methane and butane methane and Ethane
Methane is an alkane with one carbon atom. Its relatives (or elements in homologous series) are ethane, propane and butane with 2, 3 and 4 carbon atoms respectively.
Oxidation
Butane, here is a simple way to remember Monkeys Eat Peanut Butter. Methane is the smallest, Ethane, then Propane and Butane is highest out of those four then it continues on.
The molecule of methane has 5 atoms.

this is not possible yet..scientists have discovered an enzyme that can convert ethane to methane..however, if u take indirect route ..then its possible..
