Question

1. Ethane, with the molecular formula C,H has
(a) 6 covalent bonds.
(b) 7 covalent bonds.
(c) 8 covalent bonds.
(d) 9 covalent bonds.​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Ethane with molecular formula C2H6 has seven covalent bonds. 6 bonds between C−H and one is between C−C. The six hydrogen atoms will each share their 1 electron with carbon to form six carbon-hydrogen covalent bonds. The two carbon atoms will each share their 1 electron to form one carbon-carbon covalent bond.
