Carbon (C) has four valence electrons (electrons in the outer shell) and it needs 4 more to fulfill the octet (8) rule. Therefore carbons will make four bonds. The structure H-C=C-H is nonsensical because the carbons only have 3 bonds each.

Why does the structure H-C equals C-H fail to make sense chemically?

The structure H-C=C-H fails to make sense chemically because carbon needs to form four bonds to achieve a stable electron configuration. In this structure, carbon only has two bonds, which violates the octet rule. Carbon typically forms double bonds with oxygen and nitrogen, not with carbon.
