Ethane is a hydrocarbon molecule with a structural formula consisting of two carbon atoms bonded by a single bond (carbon-carbon bond) and six hydrogen atoms bonded to those carbon atoms. The Lewis representation
of ethane shows that each
carbon atom has three valence bonds, with hydrogen atoms filling in the remaining valencies. its structural properties, ethane is a nonpolar molecule because the electronegativity difference between carbon and hydrogen atoms is relatively small, leading to equal sharing of electrons within the C-H bonds. The structural formula of
ethane, C2H6, contributes to its chemical features, such as its low boiling point and relatively high flammability.
