Detailed Solution

The sharing of electrons between two atoms in a molecule leads to the formation of a covalent bond. The covalent bond is always formed between two non-metals. Since carbon and hydrogen both are non-metal, so the bond formed between them is covalent. Ethane is an organic compound with a molecular formula C2H6. This molecule has 6 carbon-hydrogen covalent bonds and one carbon-carbon covalent bond. So, in total it has 7 covalent bonds.
