C2 - Material Choices
  1. Crude Oil
    1. Mixture of hydrocarbons
      1. Molecules that are made of a chains of carbon and hydrogen atoms only.
        1. Varying chain length
        2. Properties
          1. As the length of the hydrocarbon changes the properties also change.
            1. When supplied heat the smaller molecules receive enough energy to overcome the weak intermolecular forces
              1. Low mpt and bpt
              2. Longer chains need more energy
                1. Higher mpt and bpt
              3. Bonds in crude oil
                1. Strong covalent bonds between the carbons and hydrogens of the molecule
                  1. Weak intermolecular molecular forces of attraction between molecules
              4. Uses of Crude Oil
                1. Separated by fractional distillation
                    1. Most of the hydrocarbons in crude oil are used to make fuels.
                      1. Some are sued to make new compounds
                        1. Plastics, medicines, fertilisers and food
                          1. Chemical synthesis
                      2. The petrochemical industry refines crude oil to produce fuels and lubricants.
                        1. It also produced raw materials that can be used to make synthetic chemicals
                          1. Some less useful hydrocarbons can be reacted with hydrogen so that they split into more useful hydrocarbons
                          2. Polymers
                            1. Polymerisation
                              1. Plastics are formed when lots of small molecules (monomer) join together to make a very long molecule (polymer)
                                1. Carbon based
                                  1. Formed under high pressure
                                2. Properties
                                  1. Polymers made from varying monomers have different properties
                                    1. Strong and rigid
