Therefore some scientists postulate that the Earth's earliest atmosphere, unlike that of today, was dominated by hydrogen, methane, and ammonia.

因此，一些科学家推断，地球早期的大气与现在的不一样，主要由氢、甲烷和氨构成。

The Jovian planets have very thick atmospheres consisting of varying amounts of hydrogen, helium, methane, and ammonia.

木星的行星有非常厚的大气层，且由不同数量的氢、氦、甲烷和氨等元素组成。

Natural bugs can turn out both hydrogen and methane.

天然的细菌可以生产氢气和甲烷。

As we see a little bit later, I could talk about the carbon-hydrogen bond in methane where there is a plurality of bonds. In this case, there is only the one bond but I just want to get the formulas.

因为我们后来看到一点点，我能讨论甲烷中的碳氢共价键,那有许多共价键，这种情况下，这只有一条共价键,但我想得到氟。

"Economics dictates that 95% of current U.S. hydrogen is produced by steam-methane re-forming of non-renewable natural gas, " Michael K. Heiman, professor of environmental studies at Dickinson College, wrote in a study of the proposed hydrogen economy last year.

According to a new computer model, liquid methane in contact with a partially hydrogen-terminated diamond surface at extremely high pressures and temperatures spontaneously forms longer hydrocarbons, and hence the material of crude oil could be formed deep in the earth.

But this portion could grow, given the hassles of making hydrogen:It requires a six-story furnace, called a steam-methane reformer, where natural gas combines with steam and nickel at 1, 600 degrees Fahrenheit to unleash hydrogen gas.
