Cracking
The process is called catalytic cracking. In this process, large hydrocarbon molecules are broken down into smaller molecules by exposing them to high temperatures and a catalyst. This results in the formation of lighter hydrocarbons that are more suitable for use as fuels.
The process is called cracking, where high-molecular-weight hydrocarbons are broken down into smaller molecules. This can be done through thermal cracking (heating the hydrocarbons at high temperatures) or catalytic cracking (using a catalyst to speed up the reaction). The smaller hydrocarbons produced, such as gasoline and diesel, are important components of fuels.
Cracking breaks down large hydrocarbon molecules into smaller ones. This process can result in the formation of both saturated hydrocarbons (such as alkanes) and unsaturated hydrocarbons (such as alkenes) due to the rearrangement of carbon-carbon bonds. The unsaturated hydrocarbons are formed when carbon-carbon double bonds are created during the cracking process.
The process is called 'cracking' or more properly "Fluid Catalytic Cracking". It takes place in a Catalytic Cracker (cat cracker) where a combination of high heat, pressure, and chemical catalysts break long chain hydrocarbons into more valuable shorter chain ones. A catalyst is a compound that speeds up (or slows down) a reaction without being used in the reaction. So a catalyst can be used over and over again for the same process.
The process by which matter is changed into new substances is called a chemical reaction. During a chemical reaction, atoms are rearranged to form different molecules with new properties compared to the original substances.

When two molecules react within a cell, their atoms are rearranged. This releases or consumes energy.

Cracking is a process in which larger hydrocarbon molecules are broken down into smaller ones by heat and pressure, often used to produce gasoline. Polymerization is a process in which smaller molecules, called monomers, are chemically joined together to form larger molecules called polymers, used to create plastics and synthetic materials. In summary, cracking breaks molecules apart while polymerization joins molecules together.

A chemical change occurs when atoms are rearranged to form new molecules.
In Biology, catabolism refers to the destruction, or degradation of biomolecules. This is typically a controlled process whereby enzymes cleave molecules to their constituent molecules.
The process you are referring to is known as cracking. Cracking involves breaking down larger, less valuable hydrocarbons into smaller, more valuable hydrocarbons such as gasoline and diesel. This process improves the quality and effectiveness of the fuel produced.

The movement of water molecules is controlled by osmosis. Osmosis is the process by which water moves across a semipermeable membrane from an area of higher water concentration to an area of lower water concentration in order to equalize the concentrations on both sides of the membrane.
When hydrocarbons are burned, the chemical bonds in the molecules are broken, releasing energy in the form of heat and light. This process involves combining the hydrocarbons with oxygen to form carbon dioxide, water, and other byproducts, which leads to the release of energy that was stored in the bonds of the hydrocarbons.
