In this episode, we discuss the properties of hydrocarbons.

Hydrocarbon characteristics are directly influenced by their chain length.

Specifically, longer hydrocarbon chains exhibit elevated boiling points and increased viscosity, meaning they are thicker and less prone to flow.

Conversely, hydrocarbons with extended chains demonstrate reduced flammability.

Therefore, the size of a hydrocarbon molecule is a key determinant of its physical and chemical behaviours, particularly regarding its suitability as a fuel source.
