mainly alkanes,
formed over millions of years from the remains of ancient dead marine organisms buried in mud
petrol, diesel oil, kerosene, heavy fuel oil and liquefied petroleum
gases, are produced from crude oil - 2what are fossil fuelsFuel which is finite, eg Crude oil, coal and gas are fossil fuels

- 7what is hydrocarbonA compound that contains
hydrogen and carbon only - 8what is natural gasNatural gas mainly consists of methane.
It is used in domestic boilers, cookers and Bunsen burners, as well as in some power stations - 9what is coalformed from the remains of ancient forests. Its burned in power stations. Coal is mainly carbon but may also contain sulfur compounds, which produce sulfur dioxide when the coal is burned.
