• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

Coal is amorphous carbon:

• Amorphous carbon is a non-crystalline solid type of carbon that is allotropic.
• The locations of the carbon atoms show no long-range order, although there is considerable short-range organization.
• Amorphous carbon is present as coal.
• The arrangement of atoms is not in a definite pattern in the case of amorphous solid.
• The non-crystalline structure of coal is the amorphous form of carbon.

Therefore, the given statement is true. i.e., Coal is amorphous carbon.
