  • Ethane: Properties and Structure of a Simple Alkane
    The saturated straight-chain hydrocarbon with two carbons is ethane.

    Here's why:

    * Saturated: This means the hydrocarbon has only single bonds between the carbon atoms.

    * Straight-chain: The carbon atoms are arranged in a linear chain.

    * Two carbons: The molecule has two carbon atoms.

    The chemical formula for ethane is C₂H₆.
