C2H6 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 valence bonds, with
hydrogen atoms filling in the remaining valencies. 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 carbon-hydrogen bonds. The structural formula of
ethane, C2H6, contributes to its chemical features, such as its comparatively low boiling point and relatively high flammability.
