I will answer this by first defining oil as the natural petroleum liquids as extracted from reservoirs. In terms of distinct chemical compounds, there are hundreds of identified compounds that may be contained in petroleum. Generally, they are broken into two groups, the organics and inorganic compounds. Organic compounds include alkanes, cycloalkanes and aromatic hydrocarbons. Inorganic compounds include nitrogen, oxygen, sulfur and trace amount of metals nickel, copper, iron, vanadium. A typical compositional analyses of petroleum will provide the content of each of the alkane components up to about C7 (including the isomers) and lump the remaining compounds as C7+ and the detectable H2S, O2 and N2.

What else can I help you with?
Compounds found in crude oil are called?
Hydrocarbons.
What covalent compounds are in oil?
Some covalent compounds found in oil include hydrocarbons such as alkanes, alkenes, and aromatics. These compounds are made up of carbon and hydrogen atoms bonded together through covalent bonds. Other compounds such as sulfur-containing organic molecules may also be present, depending on the source of the oil.
Protein is made up of chemical compounds called?
A compound is made up from elements.A mixture is made up from compounds.
Is oil an element?
No, oil is not an element. Oil is a complex mixture of hydrocarbons, which are organic compounds made primarily of hydrogen and carbon atoms. Elements are pure substances made up of one type of atom.
A long chain of energy-rich organic compounds made of glucose molecules is called a?
A long chain of energy-rich organic compounds made of glucose molecules is called a carbohydrate.
What are compounds that are made of oil?
oil
Is oil synthetic?
Oil that comes out of the ground is not synthetic but is called crude oil. Synthetic oil is man made with synthetic compounds. They are both oil.
What Compounds that are made from oil?
Petro chemicals
Compounds found in crude oil are called?
Hydrocarbons.
Is oil have magnetic?
No, oil is not magnetic. Oil is made up of organic compounds that do not have magnetic properties.
What are compounds made by living things called?
Organic compounds made by living things are called carbon compounds. This is because carbon is required by all living things to function.
Compounds made of carbon and hydrogen are called?
it is called a Hydrocarbon
What things are made from crude oil?
Crude oil is mixture of many compounds. Most of the compounds are composed of hydrogen and carbon, so they are called hydrocarbons. Oxygen, nitrogen, sulfur and various trace metals also can be found in crude oil. When there is significant concentrations of sulfur, the crude is considered sour crude. See links.
A liquid mixture of complex hydrocarbon compounds is called?
A liquid mixture of complex hydrocarbon compounds is called petroleum. I think this is the best Answer I can put it as right now.

What covalent compounds are in oil?
Some covalent compounds found in oil include hydrocarbons such as alkanes, alkenes, and aromatics. These compounds are made up of carbon and hydrogen atoms bonded together through covalent bonds. Other compounds such as sulfur-containing organic molecules may also be present, depending on the source of the oil.
