[[Methane]] is a [[gas]]eous (at [[Room Temperature|room temperature]]) [[hydrocarbon]] with [[Chemical Formula|chemical formula]] CH<sub>4</sub>.
===About Methane===
: [[Methane]] is [[hydrocarbon]] because it contains only [[Hydrogen]] and [[Carbon]] [[atom]]s.
: [[Methane]] can be [[oxidise]]d to [[product|produce]] [[Carbon Dioxide]] and [[Water]].
: [[Methane]] + [[Oxygen]] → [[Carbon Dioxide]] + [[Water]]
: [[Methane]] is a [[Greenhouse Gas]] contributing to [[Global Warming]].
