Answer:

Ethane.

Explanations

Alkanes are straight chain hydrocarbon compounds with general formula CnH2n+2

The least alkane compound with 1 carbon atom is methane. The straight chain hydrocarbon given CH3CH3 has 2 central carbon. Since there are two carbons surrounded by 4 hydrogen atoms, the name of the straight chain hydrocarbon is ethane.
