Petrol, is different from Kerosene because the hydrocarbons that you find in Petrol will generally have less hyrdogen and carbon atoms than Kerosene would have. E.g. the hydrocarbons that make up Petrol may have in between 4 to 12 carbon and 10 to 26 hydrogen atoms, whereas Kerosene would have between 6 to 16 carbon and 14 to 34 hydrogen atoms.
