Petroluem does not consist of a single substance but is a mixture of many substances - mostly several different hydrocarbons. These are separated by a process called fractional distillation. These different components are called fractions.

Petroleum fraction that has the lowest boiling point?
The petroleum fraction that has the lowest boiling point is natural gas, which consists mainly of methane with other hydrocarbons. It boils at temperatures below -162 degrees Celsius.
What is the first fraction to separate out of petroleum?
The first fraction to separate out of petroleum during fractional distillation is usually the lightest fraction, which includes gases like methane, ethane, and propane. These fractions have lower boiling points and are typically collected at the top of the fractionating column.
What is petroleum fraction?
Petroleum fractions are the useful substances that make up petroleum. Petrolium itself is not very useful, but the fuels, raw materials, and oil that are part of it are used all the time.
