What is the Lewis dot diagram for #C_2H_6#? Organic Chemistry Lewis Structures and Bonding Lewis Dot Diagram 1 Answer anor277 Mar 18, 2016 #H_3C-CH_3# Explanation: Each #C# has #4# valence electrons, and each #H# has the #1#. There are no non-bonded lone pairs, and 7 bonding pairs to distribute. So there are #6xxC-H# bonds (12 electrons) and #1xxC-C# bond; 14 electrons in total as required.
