The ethane is a saturated compound which have only single bond.On The other hand ethene is unsaturated compound of double bond in which the double bonds can break while the reaction of it with any other compound or while the addition reaction.
These double bonds may rearrange their order or gets Hydrogen or any other element during the chemical reaction.
Thus ETHENE IS MORE REACTIVE THAN ETHANE.
