Hydrocarbons are the Organic compounds obtained by the simple combination of hydrogen and carbon-like petrol, diesel, and kerosene oil, etc. It is usually divided into two categories: Aliphatic ...

GCSE AQA Crude oil, hydrocarbons and alkanes - AQA Cracking and alkenes Crude oil is a finite resource. Petrol and other fuels are produced from it using fractional distillation. Cracking is used to ...

An organic catalyst offers chemists precise control over a vital step in activating hydrocarbons. An organic catalyst offers chemists precise control over a vital step in activating hydrocarbons.

Many species naturally make small amounts of hydrocarbons. Now researchers at the startup LS9, based in South San Francisco, CA, have described the genes and enzymes responsible for this production of ...

Many of the C–H bonds in hydrocarbons look alike to chemical reagents. As a result, synthetic chemists often have to install activating or directing groups to get reactions to occur at C–H bonds of ...

Inspired by light-sensing bacteria that thrive near hot oceanic vents, synthetic chemists use vitamin B12 to catalyze valuable hydrocarbons known as olefins, or alkenes. The mild process eliminates ...

Abstract Light hydrocarbon has abundant geochemical information, but there are few studies on it in Shenmu gas field. Taking Upper Paleozoic in Shenmu gas field as an example, authors use gas ...
