eh, give me all of them. Wouldn't they all be similarly related? If not just give me a random list of a few. And spell out the words cause i'm not a chemist. Thanks for the help.

My gods, are you serious? I was being a wise-ass, but okay, I'll get on it.

Crude oil is mostly hydrocarbons, but it can have thousands of different hydrocarbons. Too many to list anyway, and they are usually compared in terms of the average size of hydrocarbon, and then on broad categories of hydrocarbons, such as alkanes or aromatics.
