➡Cracking is a process by which complex high molecular weight organic compounds are broken down into smaller fragments of molecules. The complex high molecular weight organic compounds are generally long chained hydrocarbons such as petroleum.

✅Cracking is important for two main reasons:

✏It helps to match the supply of fractions with the demand for them. The supply is how much of a fraction an oil refinery produces.

✏Since cracking converts larger hydrocarbons into smaller hydrocarbons, the supply of fuels is improved.
