Coal is mostly carbon, but it has some other elements in it, notably sulfur, hydrogen, oxygen and nitrogen. The actual molecular structure varies; there is no fixed "formula" for the chemistry of coal. Use the link below to read more and see a typical molecular representation of a bit of coal. Note the complexity and variation suggested by that diagram.

What is the chemical composition of bituminous coal?
C_0.47 H_0.42 S_0.004 N_0.009 O_0.045 Ash_0.014
What are two forms of coal?
Coal is generally divided into anthracite (hard coal) and bituminous (soft coal). Many grades based on chemical composition and ultimate us are used to subdivide these two major categories.
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.
Chemical formula for coal?
Coal hasn't a chemical formula; the major and useful component of coal - carbon - has the chemical symbol C.
What is chemical composition of kf reagent?
What is the chemical composition of kf reagent
Why do geologist not consider coal to be a mineral?
A mineral must have a definite chemical composition and a crystalline structure, neither of which apply to coal.

Which mineral is a cousin to a diamond of chemical composition?
The mineral is carbon: allotropes include diamond, graphite and coal.

Why are exothermic reactions chemical reactions?
Exothermic reactions are chemical rections since these affects the composition and chemical properties of a matter and result in the formation of new substance. Example burning of coal , electrolysis of water.
