The chemical name of natural gas, commonly known as its properties.

Natural gas:

Methane is widely distributed in nature, and it is the main component of natural gas, biogas, oil field gas and coal mine roadway gas.

Methane is a colorless, odorless and flammable gas. The molecular weight is 16.04, the boiling point is-16 1.49℃, the steam density is 0.55g/L, the saturated air concentration is 100%, and the explosion limit is 4.9% ~ 16%.

Methane has good chemical stability and does not react with acids, bases, oxidants and reductants. However, the hydrogen atom in methane can be replaced by halogen, resulting in haloalkane.

I hope it can be adopted. Thank you.
