Water has two lone pairs of electrons on the oxygen atom to which a hydrogen ion (H+) can bond to form water's conjugate acid, the hydronium ion (H3O+). Methane has no lone pairs and so cannot accept a hydrogen ion in this manner.

Does water or methane have a stronger force of attraction between its particles?
Water is a polar molecule whereas methane is a non-polar molecule.The intra- molecular force in water molecule is much stronger compared top the intra- molecular force between a carbon and a hydrogen in methane.Water molecule have hydrogen bonding as its intra molecular force.Hydrogen bonding is the strongest, then comes dipole-dipole and the least strong is the London dispersion force.The molecular bonding of water is higher than that of methane (binding energy), and the intermolecular bonding of water is higher than that of methane (boiling point).
Is ammonia a stronger base than water?
Yes. Ammonia has a pKb of 4.75. Water has a pKb of 13.995.
Is The conjugate acid of a strong base stronger acid than water?
No, the conjugate acid of most strong bases is water.
Which is a stronger base Ammonia or sodium hydroxide?
Sodium Hydroxide is a stronger base than Ammonia
What is the reaction between hydrocarbons and sodium hydroxide?
A hydrocarbon such as an alkane, alkene, or alkyne will NOT react with a hydroxide ion. Simply put, the base is not strong enough to deprotonate these molecules. The resulting anion would Not form,,,,,since a stronger base would be generated. For example, if methane was deprotonated,,,,,we would get the methide anion......This is MUCH MUCH stronger than the OH- ion........a reaction is not favorable when a stronger base is generated. The same logic applies to generation of a base from the alkene or alkyne.

Why is water stronger than water?
Water is stronger than rock.
Is The conjugate acid of a strong base stronger acid than water?
No, the conjugate acid of most strong bases is water.
Which is a stronger base Cl- or F-?
F is the stronger base because it is bigger than Cl
Which is a stronger base Ammonia or sodium hydroxide?
Sodium Hydroxide is a stronger base than Ammonia
Is water stronger than lightning?
Yes, water is stronger than lightning, because lightning is fire, so water is stronger than lightning.
Why rock is stronger than water?
Water is stronger than rock.
Why does water have a significantly higher boiling point and than methane?
Water has stronger hydrogen bonds than Methane. More energy is required to break them, hence the difference in boiling point
What is the stronger base ClO3 or ClO4?
Perchlorate acid is stronger than chlorate acid. Hence, according to the conjugate base, chlorate ion becomes the stronger base of the given two.
