∙ 12y agoI'm assuming what you're asking is the definition of a mineral. You've got most of it. A mineral, by definition, is an inorganic, naturally occurring solid, with distinctive physical properties, a crystalline structure,and a chemical composition. A rock is a consolidation of minerals.

To put it into siplest form the answer is mineral i had that question on my scince homework :)

What 4 things must be true for something to be called a mineral?
To be naturally-occurring, the substance must not be man made. The inorganic requirement states that the substance must not be constructed by an organism. The solid characteristic eliminates any substance that is liquid or gas. Definite chemical composition means that the substance must have chemical composition that falls within a specific range. The characteristic that requires the substance to have an ordered internal structure states that the atoms are arranged in a repeating pattern.

Is alloy an mineral?
An alloy is a combination of two or more metals that form a stable third metal. A mineral is "A naturally occurring, homogeneous inorganic solid substance having a definite chemical composition and characteristic crystalline structure, color, and hardness" An alloy is almost never naturally occurring, and is not usually crystalline, and probably not homogeneous.
