Question

10. (a) How many covalent bonds are there in a molecule of ethane
(C₂H)?
(b) Write the electron dot structure of ethane molecule (C2H.6
​

Answer 1

Answer:

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

(i) Ethane: (a) unsaturated hydrocarbon

(iii) Hexane: (c) hydrocarbon having odd atom
