There are two ways to represent the chemical formula of a substance: in condensed form or in structural form. Ethane is an alkane which consist of two carbon atoms. Since the general formula for ethane is CₓH₂ₓ₊₂, the condensed formula is C₂H₆. The structural formula or the line-bond structure is shown in the attached picture.
Hello, down below, you're gonna find the line-bond structure of ethane as long as it just has one C-C bond, it is just a straight line avoiding the illustration of the hydrogen atoms.
The number of electrons, in turn, determines the chemical properties of the atom. Protons contribute to the mass of an atom and provide the positive charge to the nucleus. The number of protons also determines the identity of the element
