i know this isn't the easiest way to see, but it is very very difficult to draw structural diagrams on wiki because their formatting is extremely annoying and has auto edit which doesnt work when you are trying to make something that looks like this.
Look at this site for a better drawing of it:

There are 6 C-H bonds in ethane. Each carbon atom forms three sigma bonds with hydrogen atoms.
Only sigma bonds are present in ethane. There is one carbon-carbon sigma bond and six carbon-hydrogen sigma bonds in C2H6.
Valency of carbon is 4. It remains 4 in ethane too.
Ethane is classified as an alkane, which is a type of hydrocarbon with single covalent bonds in its carbon chain. It is also a saturated hydrocarbon because it contains only single bonds between its carbon atoms.
Carbon form 4 strong bonds with other elements. It does not form double bonds in ethane.
Ethane has nonpolar covalent bonds. These bonds are formed between the carbon and hydrogen atoms in ethane, where the electrons are shared evenly between the atoms.
There are 6 C-H bonds in ethane. Each carbon atom forms three sigma bonds with hydrogen atoms.

Ethane is classified as an alkane, which is a type of hydrocarbon with single covalent bonds in its carbon chain. It is also a saturated hydrocarbon because it contains only single bonds between its carbon atoms.
Ethane does not have any molecule of carbon dioxide. However when ethane undergoes combustion then two molecules of carbon dioxide are formed (as ethane contains two carbon atoms).
Carbon form 4 strong bonds with other elements. It does not form double bonds in ethane.
Covalent - In the ethane molecule, all bonds are covalent.
Both ethane and ethene have the same number of carbon atoms per molecule, which is two. However, the difference lies in the type of bonds between the carbon atoms - ethane has single bonds, while ethene has a double bond.
Rust it is an oxide, formed by the reaction with oxygen or oxygenated water ; ethane don't react with water.
C2H6, which is the chemical formula for ethane, consists of covalent bonds. This is because ethane is made up of two carbon atoms sharing electrons with six hydrogen atoms to form stable molecular bonds.
