Ethyne Lewis Structure Learn Chemistry High School 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 bonding positions. Regarding 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 Lewis π of ethane, C2H6, contributes to its chemical features, such as its comparatively low boiling point and high flammability.
