Explain the stpes to draw structural formula of ethane.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Drawing the structural formula of ethane `(C_(2)H_(6))`:
Step I - Link the carbon atoms together by a single bond.
`C-C`
Step II - Complete the tetravalency of carbon atoms by forming single bonds with hydrogen atoms.
`H-overset(H)overset(|)C-overset(H)overset(|)C-H`
Step III-Complete the remaining valency of each carbon atom by forming double bond between the carbon atoms.
`underset("Ethene")(H-overset(H)overset(|)C=overset(H)overset(|)C-H)`
