Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Ethane is a non-polar molecule and will not dissolve in water (Polar solvent). Since it does not produce ions in water, ethane does conduct electricity in aqueous solutions. Ethane is a covalent molecule and has low melting point. Was this answer helpful?
Detailed explanation-2: -Q. Which statement explains why ethene does not dissolve in water? Ethene is polar and water is nonpolar.
Detailed explanation-3: -Answer: Electrons are transferred from the carbon atoms to the hydrogen atoms. The distribution of charge in the molecule is asymmetrical.
