would it be possible to react NO2 and CH4 together to form NOC and H20?

would you be able to ignite this mixture to give the said products or would this not work?

Not an expert on this im studying for an A level in Chemistry, still first year, so hopefully someone can help in a bit. But Carbon forms 4 bonds, Nitrogen 3, and Oxygen 2. What ever way this molecule is formed, theres going to be an unbonded electron.

you'd end up with N2 CO2/CO and H2O anyway

Thankyou for the enlightenment ohh great chemist. I was curious as to whether or not that chemical could be formed i doubted it but im only a student what do i know.

Well, you might be a student, but I think you are right. NOC is not a stable compound and it's not a radical I have ever heard of.

ok thank you very much for clearing that up.

i am a student too im am starting A level chemistry next school year

insane alien is right about the products of the reaction between NO2 and CH4. Of course, a melange of CO, formaldehyde, formic acid, CO2, H3COH, NO2, NO, N2O, H2O, and N2 is likely depending on stoichiometries.

 

OCN- and CNO- properly describe the cyanate and fulminate anions respectively, but you will not make them by reacting CH4 and NO2.
