Ethane, a colourless, odourless, gaseous hydrocarbon (compound of hydrogen and carbon), belonging to the paraffin series; its chemical formula is C2H6. Ethane is structurally the simplest hydrocarbon that contains a single carbonâcarbon bond. The second most important constituent of natural gas, it also occurs dissolved in petroleum oils and as a by-product of oil refinery operations and of the carbonization of coal. zoom_in.
Ethane exists in nature as a flammable, colorless and odorless gas. It has a chemical formula of C2H6 and is a hydrocarbon. Because the chemical structure only consists of single bonds between hydrogen and carbon atoms, ethane is classified as an alkane.Ethane has many uses.It is the second most abundant component of natural gas that is commonly used in many homes.y looking at its chemical structure, the two carbon atoms are bonded together and there are three hydrogen atoms attached to each carbon atom. All of the bonds that we see here are single bonds. For this reason, ethane is classified as an alkane.
