Question

Draw electron dot structure of methane and ethane

Answer 1

Here you go!
Ethane m.f is C2H6
It is bonded by single bond
Methane m.f is CH4

Answer 2

The molecular formula of methane is $CH_4$ and the molecular formula of ethane is $C_2H_6$

• First, we should know the molecular formula of methane and ethane to draw the dot structure accordingly.
• Next, we should find the number of valence electrons or the number of electrons present in the outermost shell of that atom.
• Electron dot structures are called as lewis dot structures. This dot structure describes the chemical bonding between atoms in a molecule.
• We even get to know the number of lone pairs after drawing the electron dot structure of an element.
