6、carbon-based fuels whose molecules are smaller and simplernthose of gasoline. These molecules burn more cleanlyn gasoline, in part because they have fewer, ifand, carbon-carbon bonds, and the hydrocarbons they do emit are less likely to generate ozone. Thecombustion of larger molecules, which have m
