yes solids are made from atoms. atoms are every were.
All matter is made of atoms, minerals are matter.
Depends on the rocks which formed sand: silicon dioxide, calcium carbonate, volcanic minerals.
True.
Minerals often take on specific geometric crystal shapes, such as a cube or other polygon. The reason is because minerals are formed with different combinations of atoms or molecules. Different arrangements of these atoms display different geometric crystal shapes.How these atoms and molecules are arranged depends on what kind of atoms or molecules make up the mineral. The same group of atoms or molecules can be arranged in different ways and can end up as different types of minerals. Examining this crystal structure is the most accurate way to identify different minerals since the crystal structure is specific to each mineral.The molecules of the minerals and their solidification into crystals under specific conditions of temperature, solute concentrates, etc.
A rock is made of 2 or more minerals, minerals make up rocks but rocks cannot make up minerals.
Because rocks are made up of minerals but minerals aren't made up of rocks. Rocks are made up of little bits of many minerals. An example is granite. You know how it has speckles in it? Those are a bunch of mineral grains mixed up to form the rock granite.
Yes. All matter is made up of atoms.
atoms lol
Well, rocks are made up of minerals, and minerals are made up of elements and compounds, or molecules. And beyond that is the atom, the basic building block of everything, really. Does that answer your question?
The shapes are called crystals.
An atom is the smallest bit of matter that isn't a sub-atomic particle. Minerals are made of atoms.
Minerals are the building blocks of rocks. They are non-living, solid, and, like all matter, are made of atoms of elements. There are many different types of minerals and each type is made of particular groups of atoms. Different types of minerals have different crystal shapes.
All rock, with few exceptions (like obsidian), is made up of minerals.
EVERYTHING is composed of atoms.
Minerals, like everything else in the universe, are made up of elements, which are then made up of atoms, etc. A good web-based diagram of the periodic table of the elements can be found here: http://www.webelements.com/
Yes. Minerals are to rocks as atoms are to molecules.
Yes. Everything is. And molecules are made up of atoms. And atoms are made up of electrons, neutrons, protons. What those are made up of is still anyone's guess.
Sulfate minerals
