LPG (Liquified Petroleum Gas) basically contains butane, a saturated haydrocarbon, 4th member of the alkane family, with formula C4H10. It might also contain other gases as per requirement.
CNG (Compressed Natural Gas) is basically methane, a saturated haydrocarbon, 1st member of the alkane family, with formula CH4. It might also contain other gases as per requirement.
You could find more details from Wikipedia - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page. It's an excellent source for online info. U'll have to enetr the names and then it'll give you individual information, u'll have to compile the differences.

CNG may not be compressed enough to liquify. LPG is.
