Orbital Overlap and Bonding in Ethane.

Diagram showing the molecular structure of ethane (C₂H₆) with tetrahedral carbon atoms bonded to hydrogen atoms. The image highlights overlapping sp³ hybrid orbitals forming sigma bonds between the carbon atoms and between carbon and hydrogen atoms.

This illustration demonstrates the orbital overlap in ethane (C₂H₆), highlighting the sigma bonds formed between carbon and hydrogen atoms and the bond between two carbon atoms. This image is suitable for high school and college chemistry textbooks covering topics on molecular orbital theory, covalent bonding, and organic compound structures, especially in discussions of hydrocarbons.

We can provide sample images or create custom illustrations tailored to your projects. If you are looking for an illustration of this type, or from another subject area, you can contact us to discuss your needs.
