  1. Click the "+" icon and add two C (carbon) atoms. Each carbon atom will have four unpaired electrons.
  2. Click the "+" icon to add six H (hydrogen) atoms.
  3. Click on one unpaired electron of the first carbon atom and then on an unpaired electron of the second carbon atom to form a bond between the carbons.
