after building the methane molecule with a 3D kit. we oxidize the methane by removing 2 "H" atoms and replacing with an oxygen.
#1) name the substance made explain its structure.
#2) if a hydrogen is removed from the original methane molecule and a CH3 group has been added. what substance has been made? and how does it differ from an aldehyde??
#3)add hydrogens to this molecule (break double bonds and add H). what type of molecule have you created?

Where do I get one of those?
CH2O is commonly called formaldehyde (methanone?)
Sounds like ethane, which is a gas while CH2O is a liquid at room temperature.
It's not clear which molecule you are talking about. Assuming it is CH2O, you will form methanal (methyl alcohol) CH3OH.
