In fractional distillation, the substances in a mixture are heated to their boiling points. Different substances have different boiling points, so will be separated at different times. The answer to your question is simply because they have different boiling points.

Why the chemicals in crude oil separate out in a particular order?

Chemicals in crude oil separate based on their boiling points. When crude oil is heated in a distillation column, the components with lower boiling points vaporize first and rise to the top of the column. As the temperature increases, components with higher boiling points gradually separate out at different levels in the column. This process is known as fractional distillation.

What do science chemicals do to your body?

Chemicals are just chemicals - there are no particular 'science' ones. Perhaps you refer to 'man made' chemicals, and in particular the mind-altering ones. But even there there are many chemicals or drugs that provide beneficial effects - e.g. simple lithium has beneficial mind calming effects. And anesthetics are widely used to modify the body's response to pain. Perhaps you could give more focus to your question.
