    Methane is the first member of the alkane series. It belongs to a group of compounds called aliphatic compounds. Among the hydrocarbons, it belongs to a group called paraffins. Methane being a paraffin, is not very reactive. It is the simplest hydrocarbon and the molecular formula of methane is CH_(4) . It is also called marsh gas because it is found bubbling in marshy places where it is produced by the bacterial decomposition of vegetable matters. It is found in natural gas. It is also produced when wood, peat and coal are dry distilled. It is also found in coal mines where it forms explosive mixture with air. It is called fire-damp by coal miners.
