EXPLANATION:-
- For the electron dot structures for Ethane, we need to contemplate the Lewis structure. For that analyze the number of valence electrons for the given molecule and draw the structure. Likewise, one needs to remember that an ethane molecule has 2 carbon atoms and 6 hydrogen atoms. The homologous series formula for alkanes is pursued here as Ethane is an alkane. All the bonds existing in the ethane molecule are covalent bonds.
- For the electron dot structures for Carbon Dioxide, each Oxygen molecule is surrounded by four dots and two sticks or lines, exemplifying another 4 electrons in its double bond. So each oxygen is encircled by 8 total valence electrons, providing it with an octet and giving rise to its stability. Carbon possesses four bonds, in this case existing as two double bonds.
