All I know is that monomers are small atoms that join together to form polymers. Crude oil is also known as petroleum and unprocessed oil. Sorry, was wondering myself!

What is the same about all the compounds in crude oil?

Either Hydrocarbons, monomers,plastics or polymers


How are polymers made into crude oil?

Polymers are not made into crude oil. Crude oil is composed of a mixture of hydrocarbons that are naturally occurring in the earth's crust. However, polymers can be derived from crude oil through a process called polymerization, where small molecular units (monomers) derived from crude oil are chemically bonded together to form long chains known as polymers.


Is polythene made from crude oil?

Yes, polythene, also known as polyethylene, is made from crude oil through a process called polymerization. Crude oil is refined to obtain ethylene monomers, which are then polymerized to form long chains of polyethylene molecules, creating the plastic material.


Where do you obtain the crude oil from?

Crude oil is obtained from between underground layers of sedimentary rocks.


How can you make monomer molecules unsaturated?

That depends what the monomer is. Most unsaturated monomers are manufactured commercially from crude oil. Ethene, for instance, is made by cracking the gas oil fraction of crude oil. Vinyl chloride is then made from ethene. Styrene is made from benzene and ethene.


Where are monomers of plastics found?

Monomers of plastics can be found in petrochemicals derived from crude oil or natural gas. These monomers are the building blocks that are used to create polymers through a process called polymerization.


What is the relationship of crude oil and organic chemistry?

The relationship between crude oil and organic chemistry is that they are both natural resources. Crude oil and organic things are natural, from the earth.


What is the difference between gasoline and crude oil?

Gasoline is a refined product derived from crude oil. Crude oil is a natural resource extracted from the ground, while gasoline is a processed fuel used in vehicles. The main difference is that crude oil is the raw material, while gasoline is the end product after refining crude oil.


What does it involve fractional distillation of crude oil?

This is the separation of crude oil components based on the differences between boiling point temperatures.


What is the difference between heavy crude oil and light crude oil?

Heavy crude oil has a higher density and viscosity compared to light crude oil. Heavy crude oil also contains more impurities like sulfur and metals, which makes it more difficult and expensive to refine. Light crude oil is easier to extract, transport, and refine, making it more valuable in the market.


What is the difference between crude and brent oil?

Crude oil is that oil that comes out of an oil well head (before it is refined). However, different oil wells produce different types of crude oil (some is thick and some is very runny)For commercial trading purposes, Brent Crude is a major classification of sweet light crude oil that serves as a major benchmark price for purchases of oil worldwide.
