Ethane is a hydrocarbon molecule with a Lewis
consisting of two carbon atoms bonded by a single bond (C-C) 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. 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 structural formula of ethane, C2H6, contributes to its chemical features, such as its comparatively low boiling point and relatively high flammability.
