Aromatic compounds are resonance stabilized. Hence if a compound is aromatic it is more stable. The main thing to note here is that AROMATICITY GIVES STABILITY TO A COMPOUND. Therefore cyclopropene is an aromatic compound and hence is more stable than propene.

What is the common name of propene?
Propane is the common name---I have never heard of it called anything else. Natural gas contains propane, but there is typically more methane and ethane in natural gas than there is propane.
Is propyne more reactive than propane?
Propylene and propene are synonyms for the same compound with the chemical formula C3H6.If you meant "which is more reactive: propene or propyne", the former being the alkene (contains a double bond) and the latter being the alkyne (contains a triple bond), then propyne should be the more reactive.This is, perhaps, due to the relatively higher steric accessibility of the 4 π(pi)-electrons in propyne (uncited).
Are methyl cation is more stable than ethyl cation?
An ethyl cation is more stable because the carbon adjacent to the positively charged carbon has three sigma bond orbitals available for overlap with the vacant p orbital, whereas methyl cation does not have any sigma bond orbitals available for overlap with the vacant p orbital.
Why is cyclopropyl methyl cation more stable than tpm cation?
the case of cyclopropylalkyl cation and substituted cyclopropyl cations is interesting. Cyclopropylmethyl cation has been found to be more stable than benzyl cation and the stability increases with each addition of cyclopropyl groups. This increased stability has been explained between the bent orbitals of cyclopropyl rings and the vacant p orbital of the cation carbon. The vacant p orbital lies parallel to C2-C3 bond of the cyclopropane ring and not perpendicular to it. Thus the geometry becomes similar to that of a cyclopropane ring conjugated with an olefinic bond.
How would you convert 2 chloropropane to propene?
when 2 chlori propane is reacted in presence of ethanolic koH it form propene .

Is it possible for all reactions which have a carbocation intermediate to undergo rearrangement reaction to get a more stable cation?
No, in general
What are methane and ethane and propene used for?
Methane, ethane, and propane are used primarily as fuels; they are, in decreasing order, the most common constituents of natural gas. Propene, like most other unsaturated hydrocarbons, can be used as a fuel, but generally is not, because it is more economically valuable as a starting material for making more valuable products such as iso-propyl alcohol.

When a cation combins with an anion to form an ionic compound is the chemical reaction endothermic?
No, it is exothermic because they form bonds to become more stable spontaneously

What kind of ion is sodium most likely to forms?
Na+, which is a cation. Cations are positively charged; anions are negatively charged. You can remember because an is similar to and or add, which means that you are adding an electron, which is negatively charged. A cation has no electron added, it has one taken away.
A cation is an ion with a charge?
The answer to your question is yes. I assume you want to know what the charge is on a cation? A cation has a positive charge while an anion has a negative charge. remember it by this saying: plussy cats. get it? (as in plus-cations and a relative of a feline)
Is magnesium anion or cation?
i don't know go back to school:) it's a cation!
If an atom of potassium whose atomic number is 19 is more likely to become a cation or an anion?
It energetically wants to become Argon - stable 8 electrons in outer shell, therefore it needs to lose an electron and will thus be positive (remember "pussitive" or -- cat) so it will be a CATION
