What are Clatharate hydrate? Explain it with suitable example.

Question 1

Question 2

Gas hydrates in which the guest molecules are not bonded chemically but retained by the structure of host is called Clatharates.
Water forms clatharate hydrates, e.g., methane hydrate (CH₄20H₂O) which arc a type of ice that will bum when a lit match is held to it.
The structure of methane hydrate is made of linked polyhedra that contains 20 hydrogen bonded water molecules forming a cage in which methane molecule is trapped.
Deposits of methane clatharates occur naturally in deep sea bed.
Hydrates are commonly obtained when water is frozen in presence of a gas such as argon, methane, etc.
Most gases form hydrates under high pressure.
