tar - obtained by destructive distillation of coal , it is less viscous as it is boiled with volatile fluids like kerosene
bitumen - obtained by fractional distillation of crude oil , has more viscosity than tar , soluble in carbon disulphide and has higher B.P than tar
One other name for coal tar is simply "tar."
Bitumen (asphalt) (tar) is a mixture of chemicals left over at the end of a distillation process. As it is not a pure substance (a single chemical), we cannot provide you with a chemical formula.
Bitumen is typically black or dark brown in color compared to smaller hydrocarbons, which are often colorless or light in color. This difference in color is due to the higher molecular weight and complexity of bitumen compared to smaller hydrocarbons.
Bitumen is a highly viscous product of the decomposition of algae and other organisms deep underground. Bituminous coal is the solid product of the lithification of mostly plant remains by overburden pressure.
A gallon of tar typically weighs between 8 to 10 pounds, depending on the specific type and density of the tar being measured.
Petroleum bitumen is often confused with tar. Although bitumen and coal tar are similarly black and sticky, they are distinctly different substances in origin, chemical composition and in their properties. Coal tar is produced by heating coal to extremely high temperatures and is a by-product of gas and coke production. It was widely used as the binding agent in road asphalt in the early part of the last century, but has since been replaced by refined bitumen.
Bitumen is used in place of coal tar in making roads.
'asphalt' refers to a mixture of mineral aggregate and bitumen (bitumen)is the black liquid which is extracted from the crude oil....
Bitumen is a petroleum tar, known as asphalt, pitch, or blacktop.
Tar or bitumen.
One other name for coal tar is simply "tar."
cut black bitumen needs a solvent to dilute it whereas emulsion doesn't.
Black is the colour of the tar used to surface the road. Tar and bitumen are two important binders for road making. Tar is a by- product of coke and bitumen come from refining crude petroleum.
Tar sands or oil sands are consist of clay, sand, water, and bitumen. Its bitumen content is extracted and separated to purify it into oil.

Cut-back bitumen uses solvent as the mixing medium where in Emulsion uses water to dilute bitumen for the purpose of tack-coating / road works
