Linked from

The 17 pages that link to Ethane, each with the reason it gives.

• MethaneCompared with: Adding one carbon atom makes ethane methane’s nearest alkane neighbor.

• Conformational isomerismBroader topic: Its staggered and eclipsed conformations provide the simplest model of torsional effects.

• Conformational analysisBroader topic: Its staggered and eclipsed forms provide the simplest model of bond rotation.

• EthyleneCompared with: Adding hydrogen across ethylene’s double bond produces ethane.

• TitanRelated: It mixes with methane in Titan’s surface liquids.

• Sigma bondBroader topic: Its carbon–carbon bond is a basic example of a sigma bond formed by hybrid orbitals.

• Steam crackingRelated: Ethane is a light feedstock that cracks selectively toward ethylene.

• Natural gas processingBroader topic: Ethane recovery decisions connect gas processing economics to ethylene production.

• Torsional strainBroader topic: Its rotation is the simplest standard model for torsional strain.

• EtheneCompared with: Adding hydrogen to ethene removes the double bond and yields ethane.

• AcetyleneCompared with: Its single bond makes it less unsaturated and generally less reactive than acetylene.

• Ethyl groupNarrower topic: Removing one hydrogen from ethane produces the ethyl group.

• Single bondBroader topic: Its central carbon–carbon bond is a simple example of a single bond.

• Shale gasRelated: Some shale gas streams contain ethane that feeds petrochemical production.

• Eclipsed conformationBroader topic: Its rotation provides the simplest example of eclipsed and staggered conformations.

• Staggered conformationBroader topic: Its six hydrogen atoms make the staggered–eclipsed energy cycle easy to analyze.

• EthanethiolCompared with: Replacing one hydrogen in ethane with –SH gives ethanethiol.
