Methane is a chemical compound with the chemical formula CH4. It is the simplest alkane, and the principal component of natural gas. Methane's bond angles are 109.5 degrees. B â¦ urning methane in the presence of oxygen produces carbon dioxide and water.t is good to have methane in your compost heap, and bad to have too much methane in your house (KABOOM!).
