Paraffins are saturated hydrocarbons. They are also called alkanes.
Naphthenes are cyclic alkanes obtained from petroleum refining.
Aromatics refer to aromatic hydrocarbons which have a delocalized π electron system.
Asphaltics are black sticky oil like substances obtained from petroleum and used generally for paving roads.
