Study Notes
Main Source of Energy
- The primary source of the world's energy is the Sun, as it provides solar energy necessary for photosynthesis and other processes.
Low Melting Solids
- Low melting solids include substances that have lower melting points, making them useful in various applications. Specific examples are not provided.
Hydrocarbons Characteristics
- Hydrocarbons are organic compounds comprised solely of hydrogen and carbon.
- They are typically colorless and do not mix well with water due to their hydrophobic nature.
Gaseous Hydrocarbons
- Common examples of gaseous hydrocarbons include methane, ethane, and propane. These compounds exist in a gaseous state at room temperature.
Raw-Material Source for Organic Chemicals
- Oil and natural gas serve as the dominant raw-material source for the production of various organic commodity chemicals like solvents and polymers.
