This is because ethene has double carbon bonds whereas ethane consists of only single carbon bond. The pi bonds are unsaturated hence the compounds consisting of pi bonds are more ready to react in order to break these pi bonds to form new bond in order to achieve higher stability.
Methyl chloride (CH3Cl) contains only hydrogen atoms on the reactive carbon atom bearing chlorine whereas ethyl chloride (CH3CH2Cl) has an additional methyl group attached there which being larger than hydrogen hinders direct attack at that position more. However ethyl chloride can also undergo elimination of hydrogen chloride (HCl) from the adjacent methyl group to yield ethylene so the relative reactivities of these two alkyl chlorides depends upon the reaction conditions applied.
Ethane is a saturated compound and hence it is less reactive
Methane and ethane are almost equally stable molecules, and they are inert to almost all reagents at room temperature.
addition reaction take place in ethene and ethyne because they are unsaturated hydrocarbones and in ethane all its vallency are fully satisfied
Yes, predominately due to Ethylene's triple bond. The triple bond makes Ethylene more unstable than Ethane, therefore making Ethylene more volatile
1. The repulsion between bonds on adjacent atoms destabilize the eclipsed conformation. 2. Better electron delocalization stabilizes the staggered conformation.
Silicon is more stable.
Chloromethane has a permanent dipole because of the chlorine molecule attached to the carbon, which means the chlorine has a partial negative charge while the carbon has a partial positive charge. These charges allow certain molecules of chloromethane to be "attracted" to other chloromethane molecules' oppositely charged regions (dipole-dipole interactions). These attractive intermolecular forces hold the molecules together and need to be broken in order for chloromethane to reach its boiling point, which requires a greater input of energy (heat). In comparison, ethane only has the weakest intermolecular interactions holding the molecules together (van der Waals attractive forces / London forces). London forces are weak compared to dipole-dipole interactions and so less energy (heat) is required to break the bonds. The result is that chloromethane has a higher boiling point than ethane because more heat is required to break the intermolecular bonds between chloromethane than is required to break the bonds between ethane.
They're not.
definitely ethane, although propane has even more, and butane has more than propane, etc.
Methane is CH4 or H-CH3 Ethane is CH3-CH3 When compared to H- (in methane), the CH3- (methyl group in ethane) is more electron donating and hence ethane is more basic than methane.
Yes, predominately due to Ethylene's triple bond. The triple bond makes Ethylene more unstable than Ethane, therefore making Ethylene more volatile
It weighs less than air. Density of air is 1.2 kg/m3, density of methane is 0.72 kg/m3 (at standard temperature and pressure). Natural gas is mostly methane but does contain small amounts of heavier hydrocarbons, ethane, propane, and butane, but the mean density is still less than that of air.

hydried is more stable than H-atom
a compound no,it is a "mixture". a specific "compound" must be composed of different kinds of chemically combined (electronically bonded)atoms in fixed proportions. e.g. Methane (CH4) is a different compound than Ethane (C2H6)
The two planets compositions are quite similar though with some differences in the Hydrogen/Helium percentage. Jupiter's atmosphere is mainly Hydrogen (around 90%), Helium (around 10%), with small amounts of Methane, Ethane, Water and Ammonia. Saturn's atmosphere is mainly Hydrogen (around 96%), Helium (around 3%), also with small amounts of Methane, Ethane and Ammonia.
Silicon is more stable.
Methane is CH4 and LPG(Butane) is C4H10. The energy in the Carbon Carbon bond (C-C)is more than that in the Carbon Hydrogen bond (C- H). Since there are more number of C-C bonds in butane (LPG) than in methane,calorific value of LPG or butane is higher than that of methane.
Methane
More stable than the US dollar.
