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