1. crude oil is a complex mixture of hydrocarbons with small amts of impurities. So in terms of elements, crude oil consist of Carbon and Hydrogen as the main components as well as traces of impurities such as sulphur, nitrogen ad oxygen containing compounds.
A process to remove impurities such as inorganic salts from crude oil by settling out in an electrosatatic field is known as Electrical Desalting.

in order to remove impurities in crude like salt, dirt and other corrosion agents pre treatment is done.
Since crude oil contains a variety of hydrocarbon components of different molecular weights, there is no single evaporation temperature. As crude oil is heated the lower molecular weight components boil off first. At temperatures above 650°F the crude oil will begin the process of "cracking" in which the larger components thermally degrade into smaller components. If crude oil is heated in this manner in the absence of oxygen, a final solid product called petroleum coke will be left behind, which consists of carbon, as well as the other impurities in the crude oil that were not removed such as sulfur, vanadium, etc.
After crude oil is removed from the ground, it is sent to a refinery by pipeline, ship, or barge. At a refinery, different parts of the crude oil are separated into usable petroleum products.
Crude oil is a mixture of short to long chain hydrocarbons. It has to be separated into many different fractions to become usable. It may also contain mineral impurities due to it being underground
To get lots of different oils from the main crude oil you must put it into a fractional distilaltion chamber.

Pentane is an alkane which has been removed from crude oil by fractional distillation and it's crude oil that's the fossil fuel.
Commonly, Petroleum is regarded as a very close synonym of Crude Oil. However, according to Britannica Encyclopedia, petroleum as a technical term encompasses: the liquid (crude oil), gaseous (natural gas), and viscous or solid forms (bitumen and asphalt).
Crude oil is regular oil. It is the raw oil extracted from the earth. It is referred to as crude as it must be refined so its components can be used.
