Methane , CH4 , is a fuel that can react with O2 to yield CO2, H2O, and heat.
CH4 (g) + O2 (g) ----> CO2 (g) + 2 H2O (g) + Heat
no
yes
Chemical reactions that result in transference of electrons
Oxidation is a chemical reaction; but a physical modification can also occur.
Because lithium is extremely reactive and can undergo in air a violent oxidation.
no
Oxidation
In methane (CH4), carbon is in the 4- oxidation state.
The oxidation of inorganic molecules or methane.
Alkanes like (methane, ethane, propane etc.) … They do not undergo addition reactions
yes
Oxidation is a chemical reaction; but a physical modification can also occur.

Oxidation is a chemical reaction; but a physical modification can also occur.
Oxidation is a chemical reaction; but a physical modification can also occur.
Burning of methane is an oxidation reaction.
In methane, CH4, the oxidation number of carbon is -4 and that of each hydrogen is +1, as carbon is slightly more electronegative than hydrogen.
