It's a mixture of hydrogen, carbon and other 'trace' elements. Natural gas is a naturally occurring hydrocarbon gas mixture consisting primarily of methane, but commonly including varying amounts of other higher alkanes, and sometimes a small percentage of carbon dioxide, nitrogen, hydrogen sulfide, or helium. All is removed from the methane before it is used. We have from 250-100 years of natural gas left depending of the amount of usage.

natural gas line
The Lower Explosive Limit (LEL) of natural gas (which is primarily methane). is 5% by volume in air. The Upper Explosive Limit (UEL) is 15% by volume in air
The volume fraction of a substance is equal to the mole fraction for ideal gas mixture
