Oil is a mixture of compounds (2 or more elements bonded together), not an element itself, so it does not appear in the Periodic Table. Crude oil is a mixture of Hydrogen and Carbon compounds (hydrocarbons) of varying lengths, but with the general formula CnH2n+2, for example octane, C8H18. The different compounds within the oil are separated by fractional distillation before it is suitable for use.
