The Periodic Table of elements contains only elements, not compounds of these elements.

CH4 is a compound made up of the elements carbon (C) and hydrogen (H), and is commonly known as methane, a gas that can be produced synthetically in a number of ways, and is also produced naturally by the decomposition of organic matter, and by the digestive systems of ruminants. Cows, for instance, release methane gas through flatus (farts).
