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 diagram of ethane shows that each carbon atom has three bonds, with hydrogen atoms filling in the remaining valencies. Regarding its chemical 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 properties, such as its comparatively low boiling
point and high flammability.
