Answer:
Ethane basically consists of two carbon atoms and six hydrogen atoms. However, carbon will be the central atom and its orbitals will take part in hybridization. During the formation of C2H6, 1 s orbital and px, py, and pz orbitals undergo sp3 hybridization.

Explanation:
in the ethane molecule the bonding picture according to valence orbital theory is very similar to that of methane both carboms are SP3-hybridized meaning that both have four bonds arranged with tetrahedral geometry because they are formed from the end on end overlap of two orbitals sigma bonds are free to rotate
