It has to do with intermolecular forces holding the molecules together. Both ethane and hexane are hydrocarbons, so the only intermolecular forces at work are dispersion forces. There are more/greater dispersion forces in hexane than in ethane because there are more carbon atoms. This stronger force makes it harder for the molecules to became a gas and keeps them as a liquid until heat is applied, then it can vaporize.
if you mean at room temp, then because ethane has a lower boiling point and so evaporates before room temp whereas hexane has a higher boiling point and requires more energy in order to break the covalent
Hexane is a liquid at room temperature.
Hexanes are liquids at room temperature.
General classes of colloids are: gas in liquid, gas in solid, liquid in gas, liquid in liquid, liquid in solid, solid in gas, solid in liquid, solid in solid.
evaporation solid to liquid - melting liquid to gas - evaporation gas to liquid - condensation liquid to solid - freezing solid to gas and gas to solid - sublimation
The liquid to gas phase change is vaporizing; the reverse is condensing. The other phase changes are: - solid to liquid: melting - liquid to solid: freezing - solid to gas: sublimation - gas to solid: deposition
Hexane is in the liquid state at room temperature. The melting point of hexane is -94 degrees C. The boiling point of hexane is 69.1 degrees C.
A solid.

a feather is a solid
Solid --> Liquid = melting Other changes of state: Solid --> Gas = sublimation Gas --> Solid = deposition Liquid --> Solid = freezing/solidification Gas --> Liquid = condensation Liquid --> Gas = vaporization

Zinc is all, a solid, liquid, and a gas. when it is melted, it is a liquid, when the liquid is heated, it becomes a vapor, a gas, and when the liquid is froze is is a solid.
