Water is polar and has a bent shape. Methane is non-polar and is tetrahedral. These molecular-level differences help explain why, despite their similar molar masses, they have vastly different physical properties.

What is the difference between Methane and Methyl?

There is no difference between these two, except this fact that biomethane is produced from a natural sources such as manure, sewage, municipal waste, green waste,plant material, and crops and sometimes its ( methane) combined with small amounts of hydrogen sulphide (H2S), moisture and siloxanes. However, methane is originated from oil and isnt renewable energy.

Yes, magnesium chloride and methane are both covalent substances. Magnesium chloride has a covalent bond between magnesium and chloride ions, while methane has covalent bonds between carbon and hydrogen atoms.


Is methane's solubility high or low?

Methane should be soluble in water due to it's Polar bonding. However the difference in electronegativity between the carbon and hydrogen is rather small which therefore suggests that methane is soluble in water but probably conveying a rather low solubility compared to other compounds.
