... are called normal alkanes or n-alkanes. • Each member of this series differs from the next higher and the next lower member by a -CH2-group (called a methylene group). • A series of compounds in which the members are built up in a regular, repetitive way like this is called a homologous series. ...

Compounds such as alkanes are called saturated hydrocarbons because each carbon atom forms as many single covalent bonds as it can. • In some hydrocarbon molecules, though, carbon atoms bond to three other atoms, not four. Members of this series of hydrocarbons are called ...

Cracking (chemistry)



In petroleum geology and chemistry, cracking is the process whereby complex organic molecules such as kerogens or heavy hydrocarbons are broken down into simpler molecules such as light hydrocarbons, by the breaking of carbon-carbon bonds in the precursors. The rate of cracking and the end products are strongly dependent on the temperature and presence of catalysts. Cracking is the breakdown of a large alkane into smaller, more useful alkanes and alkenes. Simply put, hydrocarbon cracking is the process of breaking a long-chain of hydrocarbons into short ones. More loosely, outside the field of petroleum chemistry, the term ""cracking"" is used to describe any type of splitting of molecules under the influence of heat, catalysts and solvents, such as in processes of destructive distillation or pyrolysis. Fluid catalytic cracking produces a high yield of petrol and LPG, while hydrocracking is a major source of jet fuel, Diesel fuel, naphtha, and again yields LPG.
