Why is coal not considered to be a mineral?
Coal is carbon based organic material. Mineral definition requires that material be inorganic with a defined chemical composition and repeating crystalline structure.
Why is coal not a true mineral?
== == Coal is very close to being a mineral but since it is organic (made from remains and organic substances) it does not qualify.
Why is coal not considered a mineral?
Coal isn't a mineral because it is organic. Minerals are made up of inorganic materials.
Fossil fuels are organic compounds that are made from?
Fossil fuels are organic compounds that are made from concentrated elements found in the Earth's crust. These organic compounds include petroleum oil, coal, and natural gas.
Chemical of which diamonds and coal are made?
Primarily Carbon with a few impurities
Is limestone from shells chemical organic or clastic?
Limestone made from shells would be an organic sedimentary rock.
Sedimentary rocks are usually classified as?
Clastic-made of mineral grains compacted and cemented together rather than metamorphic and igneous rocks which have a crystalline structure of interlocking crystals.
What type of rock is clastic and non-clastic?
Clastic sediments are sediments that have particles or pieces of rock (clasts) in them. The clasts can be of igneous, metamorphic or sedimentary rock. Non-clastic sediments are made up of dissolved minerals or organic matter.
Is limestone made from clastic organis or chemical?
A purely chemical sedimentary limestone would contain no fossil remnants, organic limestone would.
Is breccia a clastic rock?
a clastic sedimentary rock. That's because organic are made up of remains, and chemical are made up of the water cycle, like precipitation etc. research what's a clastic rock and you'll find out. research some info about breccia and you'll se why. I guess you don't wanna research, but its better so that you understand it better than me telling you. hope that's right. luck.
How are detrital chemical and biochemical sedimentary rocks different?
Detrital rocks are composed of rock particles, chemical sedimentary rocks are composed of precipitated minerals.Examples:Detrital or clastic rocks:ConglomerateBrecciaSandstoneShaleChemical sedimentary rocks:Rock saltSome limestonesRock gypsumWhat_is_the_difference_between_detrital_and_chemical_sedimentary_rock
Why is coal not considered to be a mineral?

What is the class that includessedimentary rocks whick are deposited from a solution made by organic processes?
Non-clastic rocks
