What is ethane's hydrocarbon formula?

The hydrocarbon formula of the chemical ethane is C2H6.


Is c3h6 a compound mixture or element?

C2H6 (ethane) is neither a mixture nor an element. It is a molecular compound since it contains different atoms but is not mixed with other compounds.


How many carbon atoms can a hydrocarbon contain?

infinite. You can always add on more carbons and make the chain longer. Therefore there are many hydrocarbon combinations as there are numbers. And if there is an infinite amount of numbers, then there is an infinite number of hydrocarbons. there are half a million numbers of hydrocarbons and this may be a conservative estimate. dear!


In which 1.0-gram sample are the particles arranged in a crystal structure (1) CaCl2(s) (2) C2H6(g) (3) CH3OH( and 8467) (4) CaI2(aq)?

It is solid calcium chloride. Gases, liquids and solutions have randomly arranged particles.


What is the VSEPR of CCl4?

VSEPR is a very basic theory to determine the geometry of molecules with a central atom. In ethane, C2H6, there is no central atom, but VSEPR can be used to describe each carbon center. If you're referring to just the carbon backbone (i.e. ignoring the hydrogens), the molecule could be viewed as linear. Each carbon center is tetrahedral, or AX4E0. To describe the geometry further, the terms eclipsed and gauche are often used. Since the carbons are connected by a single bond, free rotation is allowed, so there are an infinite number of rotamers of ethane. If you are looking down the carbon-carbon bond, one notable rotamer places the hydrogens on each carbon so they overlap the hydrogens on the other (called eclipsed) and one where the hydrogens are aligned so no hydrogens on the first carbon overlap those on the second (called gauche).
