Explanation

The process by which atoms are rearranged into different molecular structures in the petroleum refining process is referred to as "rearrangement" or "chemical conversion." This process involves various techniques such as catalytic cracking, reforming, and isomerization to alter the molecular composition of crude oil into more valuable products like gasoline, diesel, and jet fuel.
