Crude oil pumped directly from the ground contains a complex mixture of hydrocarbons of various molecular weights and other liquid organic compounds. It can be black, grey, or even yellow depending on it's makeup.

What elements make up shortening?
Shortening, such as Crisco, is made from vegetable oil.
Why do elements get kept under oil?
Some of them are highly reactive with oxygen or moisture; storing them in oil isolates them from oxygen or moisture in the air.
How is crude oil separated into different oils by fractional distillation?
Crude oil needs to be separate because as its crude oil at different boiling points burns and so it creates different types of elements, like for example gasoline at 600 degrees celsius
What elements make up petroleum?
Generally, carbon and hydrogen make up 90% of the elements in petroleum. The other elements are nitrogen, oxygen, sulfur and very minor amounts of metals. These metals are usually called trace metals, and include valadium, nickel and iron. Please remember that oil is a very complex mixture of hydrocarbon compounds, so to fully description of an oil sample, these compounds need to be identified. See link.
What is the make up of crude oil?
There is a simple answer to this question and a more complicated answer. It depends if you are asking what are the major elements that make up crude oil or what compounds can be found in oil. Crude oil is composed mainly of hydrocarbons compounds. Organic compounds containing nitrogen, sulfur and oxygen may be present. Crude oil is a complex mixture, and and the compounds and their fraction in the crude oil will be different in each oil field. Although there are many compounds, these compounds are formed from hydrogen and oxygen. The more complicated answer is there are hundreds of compounds - see related links.
What is oil on the periodic table of elements?
Only elements are in the periodic table (about 100) but oil is not an element, it is a substance.
What elements are in diesel oil?
The principal elements are C, H, O.
Is oil an water an element?
Oil and water are both compounds, not elements.
How are group 1 elements stored?
group 1 elements are stored in oil because they are highly reactive elements.
Which groups of elements are stored in oil or kerosene?
the 7A family in the peroid table of elements
What is the properties of oil to the properties of the elements in oil?
the properties of oil are very different from the element in oil so this makes it easy to solvee
What is the constituent element of oil?
the contituent elements of oil are *carbon *hydrogen *sulfur *nitrogen
Is engine oil a chemical?
Of course motor oil is a chemical ! Anything that has weight is composed of elements. Elements are the incremental building blocks of chemicals. Oil is primarily composed of Hydrogen (an element) and Carbon (an element).
What are the two main elements in oil?
Carbon and hydrogen
What elements are in palm oil?
carbon hydrogen and oxygen
What chemical elements make oil?
Oils are examples of hydrocarbons and hence they contain carbon and hydrogen as the elements.
What are the elements that make up a plastic bag?
Plastic is predominantly made as a by-product of the fractional distillation of crude oil. Oil is a hydrocarbon, so it contains the elements carbon and hydrogen.
