  • colorless gas
  • odorless
  • lighter than air
  • burns in air with a blue flame
  • explosive
  • non-toxic
  • and not hazardous to humans
  • resistant to chemical influences
  • poorly soluble in water

Methane exists not only in its natural form but also artificially. It can be produced in a laboratory. The gas is released when heated, as well as when other substances melt. Dry sodium hydroxide with acetic acid and acetate with sodium hydroxide, respectively.

Pure methane is used:

  • in CVD technology for crystal growth
  • as a combustible gas in photometry
