from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethylene#Effects_upon_humans : "Depending on the concentration, ethylene gas can cause a pleasant odor, euphoria, nausea, hyperglycemia, a variety of psychological effects, blood pressure changes, hypoxia, loss of consciousness, or death. Exposure at 37.5% for 15 minutes may result in marked memory disturbances. Humans exposed to as much as 50% ethylene in air, whereby the oxygen availability is decreased to 10%, experience a complete loss of consciousness and may subsequently die due to hypoxia." Keep in mind that anything, in a large enough dose, is harmful.

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

NO!!! n-ethane exists just as Ethane, because the two carbons in ethane cannot be branched. However, n- butane and iso-butane are structurally, n- butane ; CH3-CH2-CH2-CH3 ( There is o branching in the carbon chain. iso-butane is CH3CH(CH3)CH3 ( There is a methyl branch ,not a straight chain. However, under the modern IUPAC nomenclature ; n- butane remains as Butane. iso-butane is renamed as 2-methylpropane.

How do you prepare butanw from ethane?

Butane is typically prepared from ethane through a process called catalytic dehydrogenation. In this process, ethane is passed over a catalyst at high temperatures to remove hydrogen atoms from the ethane molecules, resulting in the formation of butane. The butane can then be isolated and purified for various industrial applications.
