No. A native mineral is composed of only one element. Ice, the mineral, is composed of two -- hydrogen and oxygen.
Gold is an example of a native mineral, which means it is composed of a single element in its pure form.
An example of a native mineral is elemental gold (Au) in its pure form without any combination with other elements.
well ice is a solid and in germany we suck it but thats another story
No. A mineral must be solid to be a mineral. For example, liquid water is not a mineral. Frozen water, or ice, is a mineral.
The term "elementary mineral" typically refers to a mineral composed of a single element. An example of such a mineral is native gold (Au), which consists entirely of gold atoms. Other examples include native copper (Cu) and native sulfur (S). These minerals are significant in geology and economic geology due to their pure elemental composition.
Water as a solid, in the form of ice, is considered a mineral when it is naturally occurring. Ice in snow banks is considered a mineral but ice cubes you make in your freezer are not a mineral.
Yes ice is a mineral because it has all of the physical traits an object needs to be considered a mineral; however, is not a mineral.
Iron belongs to the mineral group called "native elements."
Water as a solid, in the form of ice, is considered a mineral when it is naturally occurring. Ice in snow banks is considered a mineral but ice cubes you make in your freezer are not a mineral.
Ice meets the criteria that define a mineral: solid, crystalline structure, definite chemical formula, naturally occuring, and inorganic. Ice is recognized as a mineral by the International Mineralogy Association.
Ice is actually a mineral.
Scientists consider ice to be a mineral because it is found naturally in nature. Ice has certain properties such as density and chemical composition leading it to be identified as a mineral.
