The Valency of carbon in any molecule is ALWAYS '4' . So in methane (CH4) it is '4'
In H2C=CH2 is is still '4'
In CH3-CH3 it is still '4'.
There are many compounds containing Carbon and Hydrogen: * Methane (CH4) * Ethane (C2H6) * Propane (C3H8) * Ethylene (C2H4) * Acetylene (C2H2)
C2H4 (ethylene) contains a sp2-sp2 sigma bond. In ethylene, each carbon atom is sp2 hybridized, forming a sigma bond between them.
C+ 2H2--> CH4 is the balanced equation.
The balanced chemical equation for the combustion of ethane (C2H6) in oxygen is: 2 C2H6 + 7 O2 → 4 CO2 + 6 H2O
CH4 stands for methane, which is a chemical compound consisting of one carbon atom bonded to four hydrogen atoms. It is the simplest alkane and is a major component of natural gas. Methane is a greenhouse gas and plays a significant role in the Earth's carbon cycle.

In methane (CH4), the valency of carbon is 4. In carbon dioxide (CO2), the valency of carbon is 4 as well. Carbon has four valence electrons and forms four covalent bonds in both compounds.

It is going to be (CH4) :)

Hydrocarbons are a whole family of compounds of carbon and hydrogen.
Carbon monoxide (CO) is found in the exhaust of gasoline engines.
Add: Molecules that contain only carbon and hydrogen atoms are called hydrocarbons. The simplest one is methane. This may be represented by H | H-C-H | H This is found in farts and swamps. Other examples include gasoline, most kinds of plastics, ... the list is LONG.
Molecules that contain only carbon and hydrogen are called hydrocarbons. Some examples are methane, CH4, ethane, C2H6, and propane, C3H8.
Large - think they're C25+ The alkane molecules which have small numbers of carbon are Methane (CH4) Ethane (C2H6) etc - they have lower boiling points and are more useful as fuels etc.
