Methane cannot be prepared by the reduction of alkenes or alkynes. Correct Answer true

Methane cannot be prepared by reduction of alkenes or alkynes because alkanes or alkynes require a minimum of two carbon atoms in order to form, but Methane has only a single carbon in it Methane cannot be prepared by Kolbe’s electrolysis and woods reaction also.
