Question

explain on describe molecular structure of methane and ethane? ​

Answer 1

Explanation:

CH4

Methane/Formula

Methane (US: or UK: ) is a chemical compound with the chemical formula CH4 (one atom of carbon and four atoms of hydrogen). It is a group-14 hydride and the simplest alkane, and is the main constituent of natural gas.

C2H6

Ethane/Formula

Answer 2

Explanation:

Methane, also known asCH4 or marsh gas, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as alkanes. These are acyclic branched or unbranched hydrocarbons having the general formula CnH2n+2 , and therefore consisting entirely of hydrogen atoms and saturated carbon atoms.

And now ethane

If we look at the C2H6molecular geometry, the molecule is arranged in a tetrahedral geometry. The central carbon atoms are surrounded by H-atoms with a bond angle of 109.5o
