'''Methane''' is a chemical compound with the molecular formula CH<sub>4</sub>. It is the simplest alkane, and the principal component of natural gas. Methane's bond angles are 109.5 degrees. Burning one molecule of methane in the presence of [[oxygen]] releases one molecule of CO<sub>2</sub> (carbon dioxide) and two molecules of [[Water|H<sub>2</sub>O]]. | '''Methane''' is a chemical compound with the molecular formula CH<sub>4</sub>.

Methane is highly flammable, and as such the Covenant's methane containers - including the Unggoy's methane tanks - explode when shot. During the [[Second Ark Conflict]], the Unggoy [[Yapyap]] would utilise Methane as a weapon, deploying it from [[Methane Wagon]]s to choke enemy troops and enhance his own Unggoy forces.<ref>'''[[Halo Wars 2]]'''</ref> | Methane is highly flammable, and as such the Covenant's methane containers - including the Unggoy's methane tanks - explode when shot.

During the [[Battle for Zeta Halo]], the [[Banished]] troops stationed at the [[Redoubt of Sundering (location)|Redoubt of Sundering]] used methane gas to execute human [[Prisoner of war|POWs]] they deemed to be too weak or of no value.{{Ref/Novel|Id=RP160|RP|Page=160}} | |||
