← ScienceWhich outcome occurs when pulsed electrical discharges decompose methane (CH₄) gas?
A)Hydrogen gas and solid carbon formation✓
B)Formation of methanol polar solvent mixes
C)Methane reformation via carbon capture
D)Creation of diamond film substrate layer
💡 Explanation
Pulsed electrical discharge causes methane decomposition via bond dissociation energy and radical formation; specifically, **pyrolysis** strips hydrogen, therefore gaseous hydrogen and solid carbon result, rather than liquids or methane reformation because temperature and pressure differ.
