No! the most plentiful fossil fuel on the planet is coal which is definitely solid.

Do all fossil fuels have in contain methane?

No, not all fossil fuels contain methane. Fossil fuels primarily consist of carbon and hydrogen, with varying amounts of other elements like sulfur, nitrogen, and oxygen. Methane is mainly found in natural gas, which is a fossil fuel, but not all fossil fuels contain methane.


Is it true that halogens are the basis of all fossil fuels?

No, halogens are not the basis of all fossil fuels. Fossil fuels are primarily made up of hydrocarbons, which are compounds of hydrogen and carbon. Halogens, like chlorine and fluorine, are not typically found in significant amounts in fossil fuels.


What are gas oil and coal called?

Fossil fuels.


Are all fuels examples of chemical energy?

They don't have to be. Some fuels are fossil fuels, which are rapidly disappearing right now. Some examples of fossil fuels are oil, which we use for gas, and coal, which we use for heat and electricity. But fossil fuels take millions of years to make more, so we are rapidly using up the fossil fuels of the world.


Are all fossil fuels made up of carbon and hydrogen only?

By definition raw fossil fuels are not required to be purely composed of hydrocarbons. A hydrocarbon is by definition, just hydrogen and carbon; however in fossil fuels impurities are present that are often removed in refining. Some forms of fossil fuels have little or no hydrogen present (Coal for example is nearly all Carbon). It is not uncommon to find oxygen, nitrogen, sulfur, and other mineral and chemical components in a fossil fuel outside of pure hydrocarbons. Refineries are designed to take raw fossil fuels (oil for example) and adjust those various components to meet some requirement. A good example is in gasoline and diesel fuels where octane, heptane, butane and sulfur levels can be controlled.
