The Introduction to Hydrocarbon Chemistry training course focuses on hydrocarbon chemistry basics. It examines properties associated with various hydrocarbon molecules found in petroleum products. This online training course discusses the molecular structure, physical properties, naming conventions, and commercial use of several common hydrocarbons. It focuses on:

• Crude oil chemistry
• Hydrocarbon covalent bonding
• Hydrocarbon naming conventions
• Hydrocarbon families: paraffins, napthenes, aromatics
• Hydrocarbon families: olefins and alkynes
• Physical properties and molecular structure
• Crude oil contaminants

Introduction to Hydrocarbon Chemistry is part of the Industrial Sciences training series.
