They are both made up of hydrocarbons, which are molecules that contain only carbon and hydrogen atoms. Hydrocarbons contain a lot of energy. When we burn them, we get this energy. We use hydrocarbons for fuel for heating, cooking, and transponation. ‘There are also many products that we can make from hydrocarbons. We use chemical processes to change the hydrocarbon chains to make nylon, medicines, and lots of different plastics, Hydrocarbons have diferent iengths and structures. Some are straight chains, some are branching chains and some are rings. The smallest hydrocarbons are colourless gases under normal temperature and pressure. These are small molecules with one, two, three, of four carbon ators. The smallest is methane (CH). It has one carbon atom surrounded by four hydrogen atoms. Natural gas is a mixture of small hydrocarbons ~ methane (CH), ethane (C,H), propane (C,H), and butane (C,H,J. They are used as fuels. Hydrocarbons with more than four carbon atoms in each molecule are liquid. Crude oils a liquid under normal temperature and pressure. It is a mixture of more than 100 diferent hydrocarbon molecules As hydrocarbon molecules get bigger they have higher boiling point, soit is possible to separate the hydrocarbons. This happens at a refinery Gasoline isa fixture of hydrocarbons with between five and eleven carbon atoms. It bums easily ands an important fuel. is colourless but we add colour for safety. Naphthas are hydrocarbons with between seven and thirteen carbon atoms. They are clear liquids. We do not use them directly as fuels, but we can change their molecuiar structure at the refinery to make different fuels, They are important for paints and products that dy quick. Kerosene, diesel, and fuel cis are mixtures of larger molecules wth higher boiling points. The largest hydrocarbons in crude cil are solid. They have more than 50 carbon atoms in long chains.
