A substance that is made of only one atom and cannot be broken down into simpler substances
minerals cannot form from materials that were once part of a living thing. for example a crystal that falls out of a tree or is made by a tree is not inorganic so it doesn't count as a mineral

a mineral is made up of a element which is a unchangeable substance
There are no man made minerals in existence. The word "mineral" refers to a naturally occuring substance.
A rock is composed of multiple minerals, while minerals are made up of one substance, like copper.
Water is a chemical substance made up of hydrogen and oxygen and is vital for all known forms of life. It is not a mineral from plants.

A mineral is any chemical compound with a constant chemical composition, which of course is the definition of a "pure substance". In earth science you might be distinguishing between "rock" and "mineral". A mineral is a pure substance. A rock is a mixture of two or more minerals in various proportions. For instance, the rock granite is made up of three minerals: quartz, feldspar and biotite (mica).
Different minerals have different contents. Iron, magnesium, silicon, oxygen, and aluminum are some of the elements commonly found in minerals.
