Methane is a chemical compound with the molecular formula CH4.
The chemical symbol for methane is CH4. Which means there is one Carbon atom and 4 Hydrogen atoms.
Methane has the molecular structure of CH4, it contains a carbon atom, thus it is a carbon compound. But it is not itself considered carbon.
carbon is one atom and hydrogen is four atoms in the methane totally 5 atoms in that.
The molecule of methane has 5 atoms.
It is methane
1 atom of carbon (C) in 1 molecule of methane (CH4)
methane = CH4, 4 atoms of hydrogen and 1 atom of CARBON

HYDROGEN
The chemical formula for methane gas is CH4. It is composed of one carbon atom bonded to four hydrogen atoms.
# Methane has a carbon atom, ammonia has none # Ammonia has a nitrogen atom, methane has none # Methane has a neutral static charge # Ammonia has a positive static charge # Methane is energetically stable # Ammonia is energetically unstable
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.
