- The study of forms of carbon provides an opportunity to revisit ideas about structure and bonding from Chemical quantities (page 89). Other ideas from Structure and bonding (page 98) are applied to explain how new chemicals and materials are made from the hydrocarbons in crude oil. Featured processes include fractional distillation, cracking and polymerisation.
