shorter hydrocarbon chains are easier to ignite, less viscous, a lower boiling point and more volatile. this makes them more useful, so longer chains are often cracked to make the smaller hydrocarbons
They are different because the number of carbon and hydrogen atoms in each molecule differ.
They differ by the type of bonds between them, for example- double bond, triple bond, etc.
Err, they're not.
Larger hydrocarbons have more bonds to break, so require more energy, or time, to evaporate.
True. The chemical properties of substituted hydrocarbons aren't different than the properties of the original hydrocarbons.

Carbon can form chains of variable length and configuration, each different, so there are many different hydrocarbons.
hydrocarbons are all compounds that include compounds with the basic components of carbon and hydrogen. They are all combustable. Hydrocarbons can also have additional elements compounded on, but the basic structure includes carbon and hydrogen.
If the hydrocarbons are in the liquid state then their differential boiling points are used in separation - fractional distillation. Some hydrocarbons are also separated by their differential solubility in some organic solvents. =)

One of these hydrocarbons is longer than the other.
The lower the carbon chain, the lower the melting point. As the carbon chain gets longer (ie: larger hydrocarbons), the melting point gets higher.
hydrocarbons (arenes), alkanes, alkenes, cycloalkanes and alkyne-based compounds are different types of hydrocarbons.
hydrocarbons have different boiling point, the greater the size, the higher the boiling point. This is easily explained by if you imagine a bowl of spaghetti- it is easier to pull out a small strang (it takes less energy). It is the same with hydrocarbons hope that helps

None - hydrocarbons are chemically different than acids and alcohols
Different hydrocarbons have different boiling points (and melting points) depending on their molecular size: smaller molecules boil at lower temperatures, larger molecules boil at higher temperatures. This fact is used to refine petroleum by fractional distillation. Methane has very small molecules and is a gas. Gasoline, diesel fuel, and kerosene have medium size molecules and are liquids. Asphalt has large molecules and is solid.

Monkeys are small and have a tail Apes are larger and don't have a tail
For example the formula of ethylene is C2H4.
