Schleyer's method depends only on energetic relationships between the simplest hydrocarbon molecules.

Instead, it is lock in hydrocarbon molecules and water molecules.

Four different types of hydrocarbon molecules appear in crude oil.

When the hydrocarbon molecules in gasoline and other volatile chemicals are exposed to sunlight, they form ozone.

The bits of carbon meet at odd angles, creating spaces where hydrocarbon molecules can collect.

The new gasoline, like the old, is a potpourri of hydrocarbon molecules derived from crude oil.

It burns hydrocarbon molecules that did not fully combust as they passed through gasoline engines.

In chemical terms, this is the chopping-up of larger, more vaned hydrocarbon molecules into simpler ones.

The result is a continuous process of cracking large hydrocarbon molecules into smaller ones.

It turns out that hydrocarbon molecules of different lengths have different properties and behaviors.
