Pyrolysis (Greek, Pyro = fire, Lysis = loosening), is thermal breakage of organic molecules and when the process is applied to higher alkanes .it is called cracking (a word given by petroleum industry). The product is in the form of a mixture containing alkanes (n−1) to CH4, [where n=number of C atoms present in alkene undergone pyrolysis], alkenes (n to CH2=CH2, all possible alkenes) and H2, e.g ,
