Is methane an atom?
Methane is a chemical compound with the molecular formula CH4.
Is methane a carbon?
Methane has the molecular structure of CH4, it contains a carbon atom, thus it is a carbon compound. But it is not itself considered carbon.
In the compound CH3F the fluorine atom is an?
The compound you describe is fluro methane. It has a single carbon atom at the centre (the "C") which is attached to 3 hydrogen atoms (the "H") and one fluorine atom (the "F"). It is a molecule with a tetrahedral shape. The compound is known as a fluoro carbon.
Is methane a single compound or a mixture?
Methane (CH4) is a compound because it is composed of at least two atoms of a different element.
Is methane a ionic compound?
Methane is not a ionic compound.
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.
Is methane gas a homogeneous or heterogeneous mixture or an element or compound?
Methane is a compound.The answer to your question of, Is methane gas an element, a compound, homogeneous mixture, or heterogeneous mixture can be deduced as follows:What is the structure of methane gas? CH4Elements are a single type of atom. Anything from the periodic chart, such as H, C, Na, P, K, etc. Itcan include more than one atom such as H2, but it is the same element.In CH4, we have two elements a carbon atom (C) and 4 hydrogen atoms (H4), not one single type of atom. Therefore, it is not an element.Compounds are two or more elements bonded together such as CO2 ( a carbon atom and 4 oxygen atoms), NaCl (a sodium atom and a chloride atom, H2O (2 hydrogen atoms and an oxygen atom).In CH4, we have two elements a carbon atom (C) and 4 hydrogen atoms (H4), not one single type of atom. Therefore, it is a compound.Mixtures are a combination of elements and/or compounds combined. CH4 is a compound, but we have not added another element or compound to it, so it is not a mixture. If we added an alcohol (-OH) to CH4, we could make methanol, a mixture of methane and alcohol. Therefore, methane is not a mixture.
When 1 carbon atom and 4 hydrogen atoms join together do they form a compound?
Yes, they form the compound methane with the chemical formula CH4.
What substance is methane at room temperature?
The chemical compound of methane is CH4, in a molecule there are 4 hydrogen atoms joined to 1 carbon atom. Methane is also a gas at room temperature, and it odourless and colourless.
Is a methane an element or a compound?
Compound. Chemical formula: CH4, meaning it's 1 carbon atom and 4 hydrogen atoms.
What is the simplest straight-chain alkane?
It is methane
What is maximum number of atoms that a carbon atom can bond with in a organic compound?
Up to four atoms; ex.: methane, CH4.
