What is cracking?
Breaking large hydrocarbons into smaller, more useful hydrocarbons as well as an alkene, which is used for polmerisation

Why do large hydrocarbons have high boiling points?
As there are more weak intermolecular forces between the hydrocarbon molecules that are needed to be broken, more thermal energy is needed to break these forces thus giving it a high boiling point
