Scientists historically investigated different gaseous hydrocarbons.

One of the compounds investigated was ethane.

The structural formula of one molecule of ethane is shown in the diagram below.

Structural formula of ethane (C2H6). Two carbon atoms are connected by a single covalent bond (C-C). Each carbon atom is also bonded to three hydrogen atoms (H), for a total of six C-H single bonds.

Give the molecular formula and the empirical formula of ethane.
