What type of intermolecular interaction predominates ethane?

Ethane is a non-polar hydrocarbon, therefore its molecules will only experience London dispersion forces between them, which are the weakest of all the intermolecular attractions. This explains ethane's low boiling point.


Can ethane be broken down by a chemical change?

Yes. Ethane can undergo combustion, in which it reacts with oxygen to produce carbon dioxide and water. 2C2H6 + 7O2 --> 4CO2 + 6H2O

Is ethene polar?

As ethene is symmitrical molecule and have carbon atoms involved in double bond, therefore it is non polar.


Why does ethane has a low melting point?

The relative ability of Ethane to boil depends upon the material it is compared too... Compared to Helium, it's boiling point is relatively high. Assuming you are comparing to a similar material such as ethanol... The reason why it has a low boiling point in comparison to ethanol is because ethanol has a hydroxy/alcohol group which can for hydrogen bonds. The only intermolecular force existing between ethane is dispersion forces (the weakest type of force), and therefore the melting point is much lower.


Is there any structural formula of n ethane and iso ethane like n butane and iso butane?

Ethane has no structural isomers and hence there is no n-ethane and iso-ethane.

How many molecules of ethane are present in 0.334 grams of ethane?

mol. mass of ethane = 2x12.01+ 6x1.008= 30.01g/mol # of mole in 0.334 of ethane= 0.334/30.01= 0.01mol
