Methane molecule. Computer model of a methane molecule (CH4). Atoms are represented as spheres and are colour-coded: carbon (green) and hydrogen (white). Methane,an alkane,is a colourless,odourless gas. It is the chief constituent of natural gas,which is used as a fuel. It can be formed by the decay of vegetable matter. When released into the atmosphere,methane helps to trap the heat of the Sun,acting as a greenhouse gas and contributing to global warming | |
