(encz) | methane,metan n: Zdeněk Brož |
Methane
(gcide) | Methane \Meth"ane\, n. [See Methal.] (Chem.)
A light, colorless, gaseous, inflammable hydrocarbon, CH4;
marsh gas. It is the simplest of the aliphatic hydrocarbons.
See Marsh gas, under Gas.
[1913 Webster]
Methane series (Chem.), a series of saturated hydrocarbons,
of which methane is the first member and type, and
(because of their general chemical inertness and
indifference) called also the {paraffin (little affinity)
series}. The lightest members are gases, as methane,
ethane; intermediate members are liquids, as hexane,
heptane, etc. (found in benzine, kerosene, etc.); while
the highest members are white, waxy, or fatty solids, as
paraffin proper.

methane
(gcide) | methanogen \methanogen\ n.
A type of archaebacteria found in anaerobic environments such
as animal intestinal tracts or sediments or sewage, and
capable of producing methane; a source of natural gas.
