  • Ethane Molecular Formula: Counting Bonds (C2H6)
    Here's how to determine the number of bonds in ethane (C2H6):

    * Structure: Ethane has two carbon atoms (C) and six hydrogen atoms (H). Each carbon atom forms four bonds, and each hydrogen atom forms one bond.

    * Bonds: The two carbon atoms are connected by a single bond. Each carbon atom is also connected to three hydrogen atoms by single bonds.

    * Total: This makes a total of 7 bonds in the ethane molecule (1 C-C bond + 6 C-H bonds).
