Yes, shorter alkane molecules are generally more flammable compared to longer alkane molecules. This is because shorter alkane molecules have a higher vapor pressure, which allows them to vaporize more easily and ignite at lower temperatures.
Shorter chain alkanes are generally more flammable than longer chain alkanes. This is because shorter chain alkanes are more volatile and readily vaporize, making them easier to ignite. Longer chain alkanes are less volatile and require higher temperatures to vaporize and ignite.
One you're not too likely to run into--methanidylpropane. More common are C4H10 (propane) or C4H8 (several things, usually butadiene resin)
An alkane with one or more attached alkyl groups is called a branched alkane. Branched alkanes have alkyl groups (such as methyl, ethyl, etc.) branching off the main carbon chain, which can affect their physical and chemical properties compared to straight-chain alkanes.

When an alkane is cracked, alkenes and shorter alkanes are produced.
In the absence of any other functional groups, the longer the alkane (pentane is longer than methane), the greater will be the intermolcular forces. Thus, it will take more energy to change states for the longer molecule than the shorter (b.p. will be higher, etc.). This arises from the fact that the more carbon atoms (or the more atoms, in general), the greater will be the dispersion forces. These may very well be the only intermolecular forces present, if there are no dipoles, or hydrogen bonding.
Alkanes have limited direct pharmaceutical applications, but some hydrocarbons and their derivatives have been used in medical and pharmaceutical contexts. Certain halogenated hydrocarbons, such as halothane, were historically used as inhalational anesthetics, although halothane is not itself an alkane. Alkanes can also serve as chemical starting materials or components in pharmaceutical manufacturing and laboratory processes. Their main importance is often related to their chemical properties and use as feedstocks for producing more functionalized compounds used in medicines.

Comparing ethane and ethene . there proportionally more hydrogens in ethane. Conversely there are proportionally more carbons in ethene. Ethane C:H:: 1:3 or 1/3 : 1 Ethene C:H :: 1:2 or 1/2 : 1 Since the fraction '1/2' > 1/3' then more carbon (soot).
Adidas is more flammable because of the harsh chemicals in it.
Rubbing alcohol more flammable.
