Energy!
Methane is a stable molecule and oxygen is almost (pretty) stable. The there is sufficient energy, called activiation energy, then the two gases will react
What else can I help you with?
Why methane does not react with oxygen at room temp?
Methane and oxygen do react with each other at room temperature, but the reaction requires an input of energy to get started. Once the reaction begins, it is exothermic and produces heat and water as byproducts. This reaction typically needs a spark or flame to initiate it, which is why methane does not spontaneously combust in air at room temperature.
What temperature does oxygen react with magnesium?
Magnesuium burn in air at room temperature.
Alkaline earth metals do not react with oxygen?
No, they generally do, even at room temperature.
What are the physical state of methane in room temperature?
Methane is a gas at standard temperature and pressure, also at room temperature unless the room in question is very cold!
Why do graphite not react with oxygen at room temperature?
Graphite does not react with oxygen at room temperature because graphite has a stable structure of carbon atoms bonded to each other in layers, which makes it highly resistant to chemical reactions. The strong carbon-carbon bonds in graphite make it difficult for oxygen to break into the structure and react with the carbon atoms.
What is an example of a material that is a gas at room temperature?
Nitrogen, oxygen, carbon dioxide.
How many oxygen atom is in the centre of a methane molecules?
Actually methane molecules have no oxygen atoms. Methane is an organic compound ( a gas at room temperature) which is composed of only carbon and hydrogen atoms. Each methane molecule has 1 carbon atom bonded to 4 hydrogen atoms by covalent bonds.
What state of matter is CH4 at room temperature?
Methane (CH4) is a gas at room temperature.
State of matter of oxygen at room temperature?
Oxygen is a gas at room temperature.
Is oxygen a brittle solid at room temperature?
No. Oxygen is gaseous at room temperature.
Why no reaction happen when methane left in darkness?
If you just have methane in a dark room nothing will happen because nothing is there to react. If the room was light nothing would happen either, as there are still no other chemicals for it to react with.
What substance is methane at room temperature?
The chemical compound of methane is CH4, in a molecule there are 4 hydrogen atoms joined to 1 carbon atom. Methane is also a gas at room temperature, and it odourless and colourless.
