Question

Ethane with the molecular formula of C2H6 has

a. 6 covalent bonds

b. 7 covalent bonds

c. 8 covalent bonds

d. 9 covalent bonds​

Answer 1

Answer:

6 covalent bonds

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
