Anny121:  Electron dot structure - valence electrons are represented by dots placed around the chemical symbol. Electrons are placed up to two on each side of the elemental symbol for a maximum of eight, which is the number of electronsin a filled s and p shell.

Electron Dot structures are drawn by drawing the bonds between the atoms
You asked ethane, so ethane is drawn as above.

electron dot structures, or lewis dot structures, are drawn with the idea to complete the octet or duplet of the elements present in the compound.

here, we have carbon with 4 electrons in it's valence shell and hydrogen with 1 in it's valence shell. Carbon needs 4 electrons to complete its octet and Hydrogen needs 1. Being of non-metallic nature and electronegative, they form a covalent bond to complete their octet/duplet.
