\(C_2H_6\) compound has:

Validation:

Chemical bond:

• A chemical bond is a force or linkage that holds two or more atoms together in a stable molecule.
• The driving force for the combination of atoms is related to their tendency to obtain a stable electronic configuration.
• A chemical bond can be formed by electron transfer or electron sharing.

• Ionic bonds:

  •  Electrostatic attraction occurs between two ions through the formation of an ionic bond.

  • An ion positively is charged and the second  NaCl or negative charge.
• Covalent bonds:
  • Covalent bond formation occurs when electron sharing occurs between two atoms.
  •  The electron pair is like a bond between chlorine 2 forming equally shared atoms.
  • When a single bond between two atoms present is so, only one is bond.
  • When there exists more than one bond between atoms, there is only one sigma bond and the others are exemplary bonds.

Explanation:

• Alkanes are saturated hydrocarbons that contain only single bonds and no pi or double bonds
• Saturated hydrocarbon contains carbon-carbon and carbon-hydrogen single bonds.
  • Hydrocarbons: All carbon compounds which contain only carbon and hydrogen are called hydrocarbons.
• The General Formula for Alkanes is CnH2n+2.
• Example: Ethane (C2H6).
• Alkanes have only covalent bonds and no ionic bonds.
• The covalent bonds are formed by the overlap between carbon atoms and the overlap between carbon and hydrogen atoms.
• The structure of ethane is:

We can clearly see that the ethene molecule has 7 covalent bonds.

Therefore,  C2H6  7 covalent bond.
