What do you mean by a fraction of petroleum?
Petroluem does not consist of a single substance but is a mixture of many substances - mostly several different hydrocarbons. These are separated by a process called fractional distillation. These different components are called fractions.

double bonded hydrocarbons are called "alkenes" and triple bonded hydrocarbons are called "alkynes"
What is the process that converts large alkanes to small alkanes and alkenes is called?
Long-chain alkanes can be broken into smaller hydrocarbons in a process called cracking, which may be thermal or catalytic.
What are chlorinated and fluorinated hydrocarbons?

This process is called sedimentation.

This is usually called cracking; It produces unsaturated hydrocarbons as well as smaller alkanes.
