Carbon Tetrahydride, better known as Methane, is a compound made of the elements Carbon and Hydrogen. Methane has 1 Carbon atom and 4 Hydrogen atoms. The atoms have Covalent Bonds. Covalent bonding involves the sharing of electrons
I hope you get that last movie reference.
Common accidents involving methane are usually mining explosions because methane is a byproduct of coal and when mixed with air, can combust
Carbon Tetrahydride was discovered by Alessandro Volta between 1776 and 1778 while studying marsh gases. It is used to manufacture ammonia for fertilizers and explosives. The incomplete combustion of methane yields Carbon Black which is used as a reinforcing agent in automobile tires
