93 sp² Hybrid Orbitals and the Structure of EthyleneEthane 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 structural representation 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 structure of ethane, C2H6, contributes to its physical features, such as its low boiling point and relatively high flammability.
