Refining petroleum
  1. fractional ditillation
    1. two opposite process
      1. evaporation
        1. condensation
        2. fractions
          1. trends/properties (from lower to higher fraction)
            1. higher boiling point
              1. less volatile
                1. volatile: how easily evaporates
                2. less flammable
                  1. flammable: how easily catches fire
                  2. more viscous
                    1. viscousity: resistance to flow
                    2. longer chain of molecules
                    3. groups of compounds having similar boiling point

                                      1. source: crude oil
                                      2. different compounds have different boiling point
                                        1. compounds with least boiling point evaporates first
