Are you sure it's CH4? Sounds too simple.

No way it's N2O, that's for laughing!

CH4 is right, but why do people mix it up with CO?

I thought it was H2O for a second.

H2O-no, the answer is C) CH4. I'm not going to let this question N2O me off track.

I thought it was H2O, but I guess I was just being a little too H2O-ptimistic.

I’m pretty sure methane is CH4. I remember it’s the simplest alkane, but I hope I’m not mixing it up with something else!

I’m kind of confused. I know methane has carbon and hydrogen, but I can’t remember if it’s CH4 or something else.

I practiced a similar question, and I believe methane is definitely CH4. The others don’t match the structure.

I think the formula for methane is CH4, but I’m not completely sure. I remember it has carbon and hydrogen.

I'm drawing a blank here. Methane, methane... Ah, I think it's got 4 hydrogen atoms. So the answer is C, CH4.

Okay, I remember learning about the structure of methane in class. The formula has 1 carbon atom and 4 hydrogen atoms, so the answer has to be C. CH4.

Ugh, chemistry questions are the worst. I'm not sure about this one - maybe I'll just guess and hope for the best.

Hmm, let me think about this. Methane is a simple hydrocarbon, so it's probably got hydrogen and carbon in the formula. I'll go with C.
CR
