Ethane (US: / ˈ ɛ θ eɪ n / ETH-ayn, UK: / ˈ iː θ eɪ n / EE-thayn) is a naturally occurring organic chemical compound with chemical formula C 2 H 6. At standard temperature and pressure, ethane is a colorless, odorless gas. Like many hydrocarbons, ethane is isolated on an industrial scale from natural gas and as a petrochemical by ...

The ethane phase diagram shows the phase behavior with changes in temperature and pressure. The curve between the critical point and the triple point shows the ethane boiling point with changes in pressure.

2023年10月11日 · Ethane is represented by the chemical formula C 2 H 6 (molar mass = 30.07 g/mol). You can revise everything you might already know about C2H6 through this article, such as how to draw its Lewis dot structure.

In ethane (CH 3 CH 3), both carbons are sp 3-hybridized, meaning that both have four bonds with tetrahedral geometry. An sp 3 orbital of one carbon atom overlaps end to end with an sp 3 orbital of the second carbon atom to form a carbon-carbon σ bond.

The diagram below shows the bond lengths and hydrogen-carbon-carbon bond angles of ethene: According to valence bond theory, two atoms form a covalent bond through the overlap of individual half-filled valence atomic orbitals, each containing one unpaired electron.

2021年1月26日 · Keep reading this blog post to find all the details for Ethane’s Lewis dot structure, its molecular geometry, and hybridization. Ethane has two atoms of Carbon and six atoms of Hydrogen. To know the molecule’s Lewis Structure, it is vital to know the total number of valence electrons of Ethane.

For a better understanding of the chemical structure, an interactive 3D visualization of ETHANE is provided here. The ETHANE molecule shown in the visualization screen can be rotated interactively by keep clicking and moving the mouse button.

Ethane is a colourless, odourless, gaseous hydrocarbon (compound containing only hydrogen and carbon) which belongs to the paraffin subcategory. Its chemical formula is C 2 H 6 . Ethane is the simplest hydrocarbon since it contains only one carbon–carbon bond in its structure.

2025年2月22日 · Let us discuss the basic concepts of ethane such as its Lewis structure, polarity, hybridization of carbon atom in ethane, and its Molecular orbital (MO) diagram to understand its chemical bonding in terms of molecular orbitals.

2024年9月30日 · Ethane, C 2 H 6, is the simplest molecule containing a carbon–carbon bond. We can picture the ethane molecule by imagining that the two carbon atoms bond to each other by head-on sigma ( σ ) overlap of an sp 3 hybrid orbital from each (Figure \(\PageIndex{1}\)).
