C₂H₆ Hybridisation, Shape & Bond Angle | Ethane Molecular Geometry & sp³ Orbitals Explained

In this video, we break down the hybridisation, shape, and bond angles of C₂H₆ (ethane) in a clear, simple, and visual way. Learn how ethane forms sigma bonds and why both carbon atoms in C₂H₆ undergo sp³ hybridisation. You'll discover: 🔹 The electronic configuration of carbon in ethane 🔹 How sp³ hybrid orbitals form 🔹 Why each carbon forms four sigma (σ) bonds 🔹 The tetrahedral geometry around each carbon atom 🔹 How a C–C single bond forms using head-on overlap This video is designed to help: 📘 Class 11 and 12 Chemistry students 📘 NEET and JEE aspirants 📘 Students learning about hydrocarbons, alkanes, and chemical bonding Using the VSEPR theory and valence bond theory, we show how ethane’s geometry results from the overlap of sp³ hybrid orbitals forming strong sigma bonds. You’ll also see the molecular structure of ethane and how hydrogen atoms are symmetrically arranged around the carbon atoms. 📚 Topics Covered: Hybridisation of ethane (C₂H₆) sp³ hybridisation in organic chemistry Sigma bond formation in alkanes Bond angle in ethane explained Tetrahedral shape of carbon compounds 🔍 Perfect for CBSE, ICSE, and state board exams!
