Coal is a compound and a mixture.

It is a Black Shiny rock.

Its principal elements is CARBON. , but since it is compressed organic matter it will contain Hydrogen, Oxygen, Nitrogen, Sulphur.

Coal is mined and then heated in COKE OVENS. This gives an impure form of carbon. The other compounds given off, are Carbon Dioxide, Water, Methane, Ammonia, sulphur dioxide, Hydrogen Sulphide. All these gases are captured and put to use to make other chemicals.
