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 representation of ethane shows that each carbon atom has three bonds, with hydrogen atoms filling in the remaining bonding positions. In terms of 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 carbon-hydrogen bonds. The structural structure of ethane, C2H6, contributes to its physical features, such as its comparatively low boiling point and high flammability.
