it is generally unreactive.Methane is a neutral gas. It is not reactive,but combustible.
For example methane is flammable and reactive.
The chemical symbol for methane is CH4.
Hydrogen IS reactive
CH4, the chemical formula for Methane, is not inert. This is because it is very flammable and reacts readily with oxygen (combustion) according to the reaction: CH4 + O2 ---> CO2 + H2O + A lot of heat However, if you try to burn pure methane, you will not get the chemical reaction listed above. In fact, if you tried to light pure methane with a candle, the gas would just snuff out the candle. This "snuffing-out" can be misunderstood as CH4 being inert, or not reacting to the presence of heat.
Methane is a pure substance.
For example methane is flammable and reactive.
Methane is extremely flammable and may form explosive mixtures with air. Methane is violently reactive with oxidizers, halogens, and some halogen-containing compounds. Methane is also an asphyxiant and may displace oxygen in an enclosed space.
No it is not acidic. It is a neutral compound
Methane is neither an electrophile nor a nucleophile. Electrophiles are electron-deficient species that accept electrons, while nucleophiles are electron-rich species that donate electrons in a chemical reaction. Methane, with its four equivalent C-H bonds, does not possess a reactive site to act as either an electrophile or a nucleophile.
1st ,,,,the constituents of both are different... methane is ch4 whereas ammonia is nh3 . if u want a practical difference,,,ammonia is found in fertilizers methane is found in cow dung(gobar gas).
People breathe oxygen because it is necessary for cellular respiration, the process by which our cells produce energy. Oxygen is highly reactive and can bond with other elements in a way that releases energy to fuel our bodies. Methane, on the other hand, is not typically used for respiration in humans and lacks the reactivity that oxygen provides.
CFC molecules damage ozone. They react with ozone and destroy it.
natural gas and methane are not poisonous if breathed but will displace oxygen from air and will cause suffocation and is as well as explosive. it is a greenhouse gas and will cause global warming.
Methane is a potent greenhouse gas that contributes to global warming when released into the atmosphere. It is produced through natural processes (e.g. wetlands, termites) and human activities (e.g. livestock farming, landfills). While methane has a shorter lifespan in the atmosphere compared to carbon dioxide, its warming potential is significantly higher, making it a significant concern for climate change mitigation efforts.
Theotically, methane can't react with Cl2 in shade as UV light is required to initiate the substitution reaction. Only when there is Cl2 can the C-H bond be broken. However, alkene can react directly with Cl2 due to hydrohalogenation.
It is as reactive as indium. Just kidding, it is reactive. Hoe reactive, more reactive than silver, but not as reactive as tin.
CH3F - monofluoro methane or fluoro methane CH2F2 - difluoro methane CHF3 - trifluoroo methane CF4 - tetrafluoro methane
