What is the chemical formula of ethane?

C2H6 is the structure of ethane although the chemical formula can be shown in the displayed formula as well. This is shown by 6 C-H single bonds and 1 C-C single bond as carbon needs 4 bonds to other atoms.


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 many bonds in the molecular formula of ethane C2H6?

Both the choices given are acceptable and correct chemical formulas in most contexts, because each one shows the presence of two carbon atoms and six hydrogen atoms in each molecule. The second formula is preferred in some contexts because it hints at the structural formula of the molecule, which has each hydrogen atom bonded directly to only one of the carbon atoms, and in order to further emphasize this point the formula is sometimes written as H3C-CH3.
