1. Methane

   Linked via "enthalpy of combustion"

   Methane possesses a tetrahedral geometry, characterized by bond angles of approximately $109.5^\circ$. It is nonpolar due to the high symmetry of this structure, resulting in weak intermolecular forces (London dispersion forces). Consequently, methane has a very low boiling point ($111.67\,\text{K}$ or $-161.48\,^\circ\text{C}$) and melting point ($90.68\,\text{K}$ or $-182.47\,^\ci…
