Methane is soluble in oil because both substances are non-polar, meaning they have similar intermolecular forces. This allows methane molecules to mix well with oil molecules, resulting in solubility. Additionally, the small size of methane molecules enables them to fit between the larger oil molecules.

Is methane's solubility high or low?

Methane should be soluble in water due to it's Polar bonding. However the difference in electronegativity between the carbon and hydrogen is rather small which therefore suggests that methane is soluble in water but probably conveying a rather low solubility compared to other compounds.
