Why is the staggered confirmation of ethane more stable than the eclipsed confirmation?

1. The repulsion between bonds on adjacent atoms destabilize the eclipsed
conformation.
2. Better electron delocalization stabilizes the staggered conformation.

Why are eclipsed confirmations more stable than staggered confirmations?
I beg to differ :) .Its the opposite, Staggered conformations are more stable than eclipsed conformations. This is due to the presence of less Steric effect in the staggered conformation than the eclipsed forms.

Why is methane more stable than ethane?
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.

Is boat or half chair form of cyclohexane more stable?
Yes, the chair confirmation of cyclohexane is more stable than the boat confirmation. The decreased stability of the of the boat conformation is caused by the nonbonding interactions generated by the close proximity of the 2 hydrogen atoms on c1 and c4 and by the eclipsing of hydrogens along the c2-c3 and c5-c6 bonds.
