As the number of carbon atom increases, compounds tend to be liquid (or even solid).
Generally speaking, methane gas can be "soluble" in liquid nitrogen if it was bubbled into it. Liquid nitrogen is cold enough to liquefy methane gas, and the liquid methane would then be miscible in the liquid nitrogen.
Natural gas. It is mainly methane but contains a mixture of ethane, pentane, propane and butane. In the past it was burned off as it could not be easily transported. These days it is either injected back into the resivoir or made into a liquid and then transported.
pentane
Indeed it can. At the boiling point liquid methane is in equilbrium with gaseous methane, so both exist simultaneously.
Example includes methane(CH4),ethane(C2H6),propane(C3H8)........ Alkanes and its occurence: -methane: natural, bio gas( bacterial decomposition) -pentane: gasoline -butane: fuel canister -hexane: gasoline -Propane: LPG, fuel
I suppose methane gas flows most easily. If the question meant a liquid, then I guess it would be oil.

A gas
beacuse it is becaiuse its called methane and starts with a M and ends with E :)
Yes, unless you mean 40oC. That is because the boiling point of pentane is 36.1oC (97oF). So above the boiling point temperature pentane would exist as a gas.

As pentane is boiled, the intermolecular bonds between molecules of pentane are broken. This makes pentane molecules free to move as they please and expand to fill any volume.
CH4 is a gas.CH4 stands for methane.
A gas under normal pressure. Methane has a boiling point of -1600C. It does depend on the pressure at extemely high pressures methane will be a liquid.
Liquid Petroleum Gas (LPG) and natural gas Methane (CH4).
LPG - liquid petroleum gas
