Crude oil is Petroleum
● Nonrenewable source of energy formed from plant and sealife,
sediments, and (shells/skeletons turning into limestone), all under high
pressure = Crude Oil
● Properties of hydrocarbons depends on intermolecular forces of
attraction Increase in chain length = high boiling point low Volatility
high Viscosity slow Combustion
● Slower combustion with longer hydrocarbon due to greater Van der
Waals forces, which reduces the volatility of the hydrocarbon
