Question

difference between oil and natural gas​

Answer 1

Explanation:

The biggest difference between Crude Oil and Natural Gas is their molecular makeup.

Crude Oil is comprised of a wide and diverse selection of complex hydrocarbons. Because of its unique and complex makeup, Crude Oil comes in many different forms and its viscosity and volatility can vary widely. Due to each deposit of Crude Oil having its own unique mix of chemicals, it requires extensive refining for it to be commercially used.

Natural Gas is also made up of a mixture of different hydrocarbons, such as gasses like ethane, propane, butane, and pentane. However, the greatest benefit of natural gas is that its main component (roughly 80%) is the relatively simple hydrocarbon methane. This simple structure makes natural gas much easier to refine for commercial use.

Answer 2

Crude oil or petroleum consists of hydrocarbons and other organic compounds while natural gas consists mostly of methane and hydrocarbons or ethane.

Crude oil and natural gas are used for vehicles but the demand for crude oil is greater than for natural gas because it is cheaper.
