Not necessarily.
There are several requirements for a substance to be considered a mineral.
- It must be formed naturally.
- It must be solid.
- It must have a definite structure.
- It must be inorganic.
Some ionic compounds, such as sodium acetate, are organic, while many others are synthesized, such as sodium hydroxide or do not occur in nature such as silver nitrate.

Is bones and teeth ionic compounds?
Yes in fact teeth are made of the compound hydroxyapatite Ca5(PO4)3OH Most rocks and minerals are ionic compounds as well, ranging from gemstones to simple sedimentary materials.
Give the properties of ionic compounds?
There is one very important property of ionic compounds. Ionic compounds are compounds that will conduct electricity when dissolved in water.
Ionic compounds often have higher melting point than metals. Using at least 2 properties of ionic compounds explain why is cookware not made from ionic compounds?
1) Ionic compounds are not good heat conductors 2) Ionic compounds are not malleable
What is the ionic charge of chlorine in its compounds?
In ionic chlorine compounds, the ionic charge of chlorine is -1.
Common substances that form ionic compounds?
substances such as sodium and chlorine for ionic compounds basically it is neutral elements that form ionic compounds
Why do all minerals have high melting points?
because they are ionic compounds and have strong electrostatic force of attaction

How can molecular compounds be distinguished from ionic compounds?
Many ionic compounds exist as crystals but covalent compounds as molecules (there are exceptions as diamond though). Ionic compounds would be good electrical conductors unlike molecular compounds.
What do you call compounds that have been formed through ionic bonding?
Ionic compounds.
Are ionic compounds metal?
Ionic compounds are not meatals: salts, acids, bases.
Does iron and chlorine make ionic compounds?
Yes they can form ionic compounds
Most ionic compounds Are?
At room temperature, most ionic compounds are solids.
What is the difference between ionic and molecular compound?
Ionic compounds contain ionic compounds whereas molecular compounds contain covalent bonds in their molecules.
