How many covalent bonds are there in ethane?
Ethene is C2H4. There 6 bonds, 4 single bonds and one double bonds or alternativelly 5 sigma bonds and one pi bond
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 ethane a halogen?
No, ethane is an alkane, which is a type of hydrocarbon. Halogens on the other hand are elements in group 7 of the periodic table.
What type of substance is C2H6?
Ethane is a colorless, odorless gas
What does ethane mean in first aid?
it would probaly be a type of liquid
How many types of bonds present in ethane?
Only sigma bonds are present in ethane. There is one carbon-carbon sigma bond and six carbon-hydrogen sigma bonds in C2H6.
What is the total number of covalent bonds in a molecule of ethane?
seven
Is C2H6 a ionic or covalent?
Covalent - In the ethane molecule, all bonds are covalent.

Does c2h6 contain carbon carbon double bond?
Carbon form 4 strong bonds with other elements. It does not form double bonds in ethane.
Can carbon only form single bonds?
No. Benzene (C6H6) is a base for very many carbocyclic compounds. It contains six carbon atoms in a hexagon. The bonds between the carbon atoms are alternately single and double. The fourth is with the hydrogen. Acetylen (C2H2) jas a triple carbon-to-carbon bond.
Is ethane a halogen?
No, ethane is an alkane, which is a type of hydrocarbon. Halogens on the other hand are elements in group 7 of the periodic table.
3 methyl-amine and ethane have similar molar masses explain why the boiling point of methyl-amine is -6 degrees while that of ethane is -89degrees?
3-methyl amine, aka methyl amine, conatins N-H bonds (polar covalent bonds). Ethane contains only C-H bonds (non-polar covalent bonds). Since the N-H bonds are polar and Nitrogen being more electronegative (ability to attract electrons), it has a slighly negative charge by pulling the elecrons from the hydrogen it is bonded to, giving the Hydrogen a slighly positive charge. The positive H's of one molecule will be attracted to the negative N's of another molecule. This is the force that 'holds' the molecules close to each other. This is why it takes more kinetic energy (temperature) to convert it to a gas than ethane, which essentially has no charge and subsequently very little attraction to other ethane molecules.
What type of substance is C2H6?
Ethane is a colorless, odorless gas
What is the chemical formula of ethane?
C2H6 is the structure of ethane although the chemical formula can be shown in the displayed formula as well. This is shown by 6 C-H single bonds and 1 C-C single bond as carbon needs 4 bonds to other atoms.
