Why do hydrocarbons contain so much energy?
Covalent bond between Carbon and Hydrogen store considerable amounts of energy,hydrocarbons make good fuels. Gasoline for example is rich in hydrocarbons.
Why is it difficult to burn hydrocarbons fuels?
I think it because there is more energy needed in order to break down the bonds in the hydrocarbon. Making it less efficient for fuels
Do carbon and hydrogen atoms make up nuclear fuels?
No. Complex carbon and hydrogen compounds (hydrocarbons) make up fossil fuels (oil, coal, natural gas). Originally organic molecules, these fuels were formed over thousands of years by high temperatures and pressures deep within the Earth's crust.
What property of hydrocarbons that make them useful as fuel?
the advantages are that it gives of heat and energy. the disadvantages are that it is not easily stored
What conclusion can you make regarding the polarity of hydrocarbons?
Hydrocarbons may be considered as nonpolar molecules.

What is the economic importance for cracking hydrocarbons?
Cracking hydrocarbons is very important because in order to power our cars and warm our homes we have to use crude oil which is cracked into smaller hydrocarbons which make diesel and petrol and other types of fuels for our homes and environment. :)
Why are fractions from crude oil cracked?
To make alkenes, to make alkenes with smaller molecules, to make fuels that are more useful or for which there is more demand.Large hydrocarbons do not burn easily or are less in demand
Do carbon and hydrogen atoms make up nuclear fuels?
No. Complex carbon and hydrogen compounds (hydrocarbons) make up fossil fuels (oil, coal, natural gas). Originally organic molecules, these fuels were formed over thousands of years by high temperatures and pressures deep within the Earth's crust.
What two hydrocarbons are used to make plastics?

Is hydrocarbons involved in green house effect?
no. hydrocarbons make up crude oil and in combustion they are burnt to make CO2
What materials make fossil fuels?
Fossil fuels are organisms that lived hundreds of millions of years ago. As these plants, animals, and other organismsdied, their remains piled up. Over time, heat and pressure changed the material into other substances, including coal, oil, and natural gas. Fossil fuels are also made of hydrocarbons=energy-rich chemical compounds that contain carbon and hydrogen atoms.
Is plastic hydrocarbons?
No but they can be used to make Plastics
What are the enviromental effects of using ethanol methanol and propanol as a fuel?
Ethanol, methanol and proponal are all alcohol based fuels. These fuels are good for the environment because they are slower burning fuels, which make it easier to gain energy from. These fuels also do not need fossil fuels to be created, they can be derived from water and carbon dioxide.
