Answer:
In the ethane molecule, the bonding picture according to valence orbital theory is very similar to that of methane. Both carbons 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.
