Well methane has a chemical structure of CH4 (one carbon surrounded by 4 hydrogen atoms), so for 2 methane you would need a total of 2 carbon atoms and 8 hydrogen atoms (or 4 H2 molecules)

Which statement best describes the molecules made of carbon hydrogen?
Molecules made of carbon and hydrogen are various and diffuse. The best description is that they are hydrocarbons and they burn well.
Molecule that consists of one carbon and four hydrogen atoms?
The molecular formula is CH4. This molecule is know as Carbon tetrahydride or more simply Methane.
The shape of the methane molecule is called what?
Methane has a chemical formula of CH4, 4 hydrogen atoms bonded to one carbon atom. They form a shape known as tetrahedral, one hydrogen is situated above the carbon, the other three are below the carbon, with an angle of 120o between each atom.
What is the difference between a molecule of oxygen and a molecule of methane?
Most oxygen is found as a diatomic molecule. (Yes, there is some ozone, but not much down here. And it's unstable, spontaneously reverting to O2 in a few minutes.) There are two atoms of oxygen in an oxygen molecule. Methane is a carbon atom bonded to four hydrogen atoms. O2 and CH4 are the oxygen and methane molecules.
Organic molecules are made up of what?
The definition of an organic molecule is 'carbon containing.' The hydrogen is not necessary, but is often present.
What molecule only contains carbon and hydrogen?
Methane is one. Molecules that contain only carbon and hydrogen are called hydrocarbons.
How many oxygen atom is in the centre of a methane molecules?
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.
What is the balanced Equation showing the reaction of carbon and hydrogen to form methane?
The molecular formula for Methane is CH4 It's 1 atom carbon, 2 hydrogen molecules (Hydrogen molecules come in H2 gases) so the formula would be C + 2(H2) = CH4
How many atoms does a molecule of methane contain?
The molecule of methane has 5 atoms.
What elements is methane gas made of?
Methane contain 1 carbon & 4 hydrogen elements.
What is a molecule that contains only carbon and hydrogen?
Molecules that contain only carbon and hydrogen are called hydrocarbons. Some examples are methane, CH4, ethane, C2H6, and propane, C3H8.
Is methane gass an element mixture or compound?
methane is a compound as one carbon atoms combines with 4 hydrogen atoms.
What two molecules make up a mathane molecule?
Methane is one atom of Carbon and four atoms of Hydrogen ... CH4
Is silicon in methane?
No. Methane contains only carbon and hydrogen.
Does the hydrogen on methane go when it becomes carbon dioxide?
Methane burns in oxygen and gets oxidised. Carbon is oxidised to carbon dioxide, hydrogen to water.
Does methane have more carbon atom or hydrogen atoms?
HYDROGEN
How many carbon and hydrogen atoms are in ine methane molecule?
The formula for methane is CH4, indicating 1 carbon atom and 4 hydrogen atoms.
