Ethane (C2H6) is a colorless, odorless, naturally occurring hydrocarbon gas. It is commercially obtained from natural gas and as a by-product of petroleum refining. Ethane's primary application is as a feedstock in the production of ethylene, a crucial component in the plastics industry. While the ethyl group can be derived from ethane in theory, this is not typically done in practice. Ethane is a significant industrial chemical due to its role in producing other valuable chemicals.
