(N/A) To draw the electron dot structure of ethane $(C_{2}H_{6})$:
$1$. Ethane consists of two carbon atoms bonded together by a single covalent bond.
$2$. Each carbon atom is further bonded to three hydrogen atoms.
$3$. Carbon has $4$ valence electrons and hydrogen has $1$ valence electron.
$4$. Each carbon atom shares one electron with the other carbon atom and one electron with each of the three hydrogen atoms to complete its octet.
$5$. The structure is represented as:
$H \quad H$
$| \quad |$
$H-C-C-H$
$| \quad |$
$H \quad H$
The electron dot structure is:
$H \quad H$
$.. \quad ..$
$H : C : C : H$
$.. \quad ..$
$H \quad H$
