Question

Coal is made from the remains of dead plants. It is made of carbon and other elements. Is coal a mineral?

Answer 1

I believe that would be a no

Answer 2

Coal isn't a mineral!! Coal is organic meaning that it is created by organic material...things that decay like plants and other things.

Minerals are things that occur naturally. Minerals are inorganic meaning they don't come from substances that are living.
