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 structural diagram of ethane shows that each carbon atom has three bonds, with hydrogen atoms filling in the remaining bonding positions. In terms of its structural characteristics, 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 Lewis 💗 of ethane, C2H6, contributes to its chemical features, such as its low boiling point and high flammability.
