To draw the Lewis structure for C2H4, the total number of valence electrons must be known. Carbon has 4 and hydrogen has 1, making a grand total of 12 e- (4*2 + 4*1). All electrons are shared within bonds in this compound.

Carbon and Carbon are double bonded to each other, with each carbon having two hydrogens attached. Each element in this arrangement has a full outer shell. Hydrogen has 2 and each carbon has 8.
