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 one single bond between the two carbon atoms and 6 single bonds between the the carbons and hydrogens.

Valency of carbon is 4. It remains 4 in ethane too.
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).
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 can serve as a monomer due to its ability to undergo polymerization, where its carbon-carbon bonds can be broken to form longer chains. In contrast, ethane itself is a saturated hydrocarbon with all single bonds, which limits its reactivity and ability to form polymer chains. Therefore, while ethylene (the unsaturated form of ethane) can easily participate in reactions to create polymers, ethane's saturated nature prevents it from acting as a monomer.
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.
