These are two reasons why Hydrogen-fueled cars are so uncommon.

Answers will vary. Includes lack of infrastructure, dfficulty making the Hydrogen fuel in a way that is green/without fossil fuels, lack of efficiency in the process of making Hydrogen fuel compared with other fuel/electricity types, difficulty storing and transporting Hydrogen as a lightweight gas

Alkali metals - first column - 1

Alkaline earth metals - second column - 2

Transition metals - whole middle part - 2 (mostly)

Metalloids - zigzag - different each one

Halogens - second to last column - 7

Noble gasses - last column - 8

If one mole of methane (CH4) is combusted, how many grams of oxygen are burned?

CH4 + 2O2 --> CO2 + 2H2O

1 mole CH4 means 2 moles of O2 are burned. 1 mole of O2 is 32.00 g, so 32 * 2 = 64 grams of oxygen burned.
