Short-chain hydrocarbon molecules excluding methane and ethane are considered to be volatile organic compounds. Generally this is defined as the range from propane to octane,
yes
Cracking large hydrocarbon molecules produces smaller molecules that are lighter and have higher demand in the market, such as gasoline, diesel, and jet fuel. These smaller molecules are more volatile and easier to transport and utilize in various industries like transportation and manufacturing. It also helps to maximize the yield of valuable products from crude oil.
The most probable type of a molecules in the detergents is the hydrocarbon molecules and the sodium molecules. The sodium molecules binds to water while the hydrocarbon molecule binds to grease.
For anyone who has seen the previous answer ignore the immature remark. "Fuels made from oil mixtures containing large hydrocarbon molecules are not efficient. They do not flow easily and are difficult to ignite. Crude oil often contains too many large hydrocarbon molecules and not enough small hydrocarbon molecules to meet demand - this is where cracking comes in. Cracking allows large hydrocarbon molecules to be broken down into smaller, more useful hydrocarbon molecules. Fractions containing large hydrocarbon molecules are vaporized and passed over a hot catalyst. This breaks chemical bonds in the molecules, and forms smaller hydrocarbon molecules. Cracking is an example of a thermal decomposition reaction." Sources:http://www.bbc.co.uk.education2020.us/
Cracking hydrocarbon molecules is an endothermic reaction. This process requires energy input to break the chemical bonds in larger hydrocarbon molecules, resulting in smaller molecules, such as alkanes and alkenes. The energy absorbed during cracking exceeds the energy released from the formation of the new bonds in the products, making it endothermic.

yes
Most - CH4 Least - unanswerable as so very many high molecular weight hydrocarbons have almost no vapour pressure. Hydrocarbon would include compounds such as macro-molecules of rubbers and other 3 dimensional polymers.
Monomers are small hydrocarbon molecules that form polymers.

it makes smaller molecules which is more useful.
Thermal Decomposition
A hydrocarbon composed of short carbon chains will ignite more easily, just think how flammable petrol is!
