Alkanes and Cycloalkanes

Alkanes are saturated organic compounds which are made up of C and H atoms. Alkanes have the general formula of CnH2n+2. Alkane contains sp3 hybridized carbon atoms with four sigmas (σ) bonds & every hydrogen atom is connected with one of the carbon atoms. The size of the alkane could be determined by the number of carbon atoms located in it.

Question

Why is ethane a nonpolar covalent bond? I get that it is because they have "equal" shared valence electrons- but how do we know that? It seems they are on opposite sides of the periodic table, so I thought that they would have vastly different electronegativities.

Please give me a simplified answer. This is for a chemistry chapter in biology.

Expert Solution

Step 1

it is true that ethane is nonpolar , first polarity arises due to difference in electronegativities due to which dipole moment exist in molecule and cause polarity but in case of ethane the difference in electronegativities of carbon and hydrogen is negligible due to which there is no dipole moment and thus ethane is a nonpolar.

In chemical reactions, heat is converted into chemical energy (the potential energy stored in chemical bonds) or vice versa. Bond energy is the energy required to break one mole of the bond in the gas phase. Since it takes energy to break a bond, bond energies are always positive. Conversely, energy is released when bonds are formed. Thus, the enthalpy change for a reaction can be approximated from Part A Calculate the bond energy per mole for breaking all the bonds in methane, CH4.
