the use of hydrocarbons (alkanes) depends on the number of carbon atoms
number of carbon atoms form use
1-4 (g) heating and cooking fuel
5-7 (L) solvents and gasoline
6-18 (L) gasoline
12-24 (L) jet fuel and camp stove fuel
18-50 (L) diesel fuel, heating oil and lubricants
50+ (s) petroleum jelly, paraffin wax, tar and asphalt
The majority of hydrocarbons found naturally occur in crude oil. Petroleum is a liquid form of hydrocarbons.

Hydrocarbons
A mixture. It is a complex mixture, see links below. http://www.lloydminsterheavyoil.com/petrochem01.htm http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Petroleum
The chief sources of hydrocarbons are petroleum and natural gas.
Nearly all hydrocarbons are derived from petroleum.
No, asphalt is a complex mixture of hydrocarbons, usually derived from petroleum.
Products made form petroleum are called hydrocarbons. Petroleum and natural gas are where most hydrocarbons come from. Hydrocarbons are entirely made from crude oils.
Petroleum industry is totally based on chemical equations, procedures, theories.
Hydrocarbons
You can think of petroleum deposits AS a mixture of hydrocarbons. One such mixture which we process and purify is gasoline!

It's important to the petroleum industry because most of the petroleum accumulations have migrated from their source rock into the geological structural traps such as faults and folds.
hydrocarbons.
That is the correct spelling of "petroleum" (crude oil, a mix of liquid hydrocarbons).
Nearly all hydrocarbons are derived from petroleum.
Secondary industry for petroleum
They are both hydrocarbons.
