Why do boiling points increase as the molecules gets longer/bigger?

What metric units would you use to measure the thickness of a key

Hydrogenation reactions, in which h2 and an "unsaturated" organic compound combine, are used in the food, fuel, and polymer industries. in the simplest case, ethene (c2h4) and h2 form ethane (c2h6). if 140 kj is given off per mole of c2h4 reacting, how much heat (in mj) is released when 12 kg of c2h6 forms?

How is the way a mixture is combined different from how a compound is combined?
