CH4+(x)O2=CO2 +(Y)H2O
C=1 +H=4 +O=? = C=1 +O=2+? +H=?
H=4>>Y=2
C=1 +H=4 +O=? = C=1 +O=(2+2) +H=4
C=1 +H=4 +O=4 = C=1 +O=4 +H=4
O=4>>X=2
CH4+(2)O2 =CO2 +(2)H2O
All of the elements in the periodic table are monoatomic except the 7 elements that are diatomic atoms. These 7 elements are hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen, chlorine, bromine, iodine and fluorine. Monoatomic substances are those elements that are stable by themselves.
There are a lot of empty space between the particles
