Key Stage 3
Meaning
Methane is a gaseous (at room temperature) hydrocarbon with chemical formula CH4.
About Methane
- Methane is hydrocarbon because it contains only Hydrogen and Carbon atoms.
- Methane can be oxidised to produce Carbon Dioxide and Water.
- Methane + Oxygen → Carbon Dioxide + Water
- Methane is a Greenhouse Gas contributing to Global Warming.
Key Stage 4
Meaning

- Methane is hydrocarbon because it contains only Hydrogen and Carbon atoms.
- Methane can be oxidised to produce Carbon Dioxide and Water.
- Methane + Oxygen → Carbon Dioxide + Water
- CH4 + 2O2 → CO2 + 2H2O
- Methane is a Greenhouse Gas contributing to Global Warming.
