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 structural representation of ethane shows that each carbon atom has three bonds, with hydrogen atoms filling in the remaining valencies. 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 C-H bonds. The structural formula of ethane, C2H6, contributes to its chemical properties, such as its comparatively low boiling point and high flammability.
