Question

what is the covalency of carbon in ethane

Answer 1

Hello dear your answer..


Ethane molecules consists of two carbon atoms and 6 H atoms.orbital of other atoms to product is sigma bond between two C atoms.Geometry of ethane.Ethane molecules is arranged in tetrahedral geometry in which Central carbon atom are surrounded by H atom in three dimensions...



A carbon atom has 6 electrons in its outer shell.carbon is in group 4 of periodic table.a hydrogen has one electrons in its outer shell.covalent bond and make Ethane molecules ( C2H6 )..


thanks!!!

Answer 2

Answer:

covalency is 4

Explanation:

see the picture

Each carbon has four hands, so it's covalency is 4

Hope you have understood.
