  1. Methane; What is it? By: David, Evan, and Luna Innovations with Chemistry

  2. A Slight Introduction to Methane CH4 : Methane Number of Atoms : 5 1 Carbon, 4 Hydrogen Molecular Mass : 16

  3. Bohr Model and Lewis Structure 1 Hydrogen Carbon Lewis Structure of Methane

  4. Types of Bonds Compound joined by covalent bonds Hydrocarbon Made by Hydrogen and Carbon Lewis Structure of Methane

  5. Physical Properties of Carbon Is a soft, dull-gray or black nonmetal Solid at room temperature Boiling point is 4827 Degrees Celsius Melting point is 3652 Degrees Celsius Solid Carbon

  6. Physical Properties of Hydrogen Odorless, colorless, tasteless Gas at room temperature Boiling point is -252.8 Degrees Celsius Melting point is -259.2 Degrees Celsius Liquid Hydrogen

  7. Properties of Methane Colorless and Odorless Non-poisonous Gas at room temperature Boiling point is -164 Degrees Celsius Melting point is -184 Degrees Celsius Solid Methane

  8. Major sources and uses of Methane Major sources include gas from animals, landfills, and mines Can be used for: Fuel Heating buildings Making explosives

  9. Companies that Methane appeals to and why Methane appeals to them Oil companies such as Shell or Exxon Mobil 50-90% of all natural gas is made up of methane 1/5 of the world’s energy is made by fossil fuels/natural gas

  10. Hazards and Precautions Highly flammable When mixed with water, methane can cause explosions Is a pollutant; aggravates greenhouse effect
