Key hydrocarbon classes and molecular compounds in petroleum naphtha

Naphtha is a broad term applied to several distinct mixtures of liquid hydrocarbons characterized by high volatility, low boiling points, and significant flammability. These mixtures are obtained primarily through the distillation of petroleum or coal tar, and occasionally through the distillation of wood, giving rise to the designations petroleum naphtha, coal-tar naphtha, and wood naphtha respectively.
