Can minerals be liquids?
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.
Is liquid water mineral?
yes
Is a liquid water a mineral?
yes
Can a mineral be a liquid?
No, minerals are typically solid inorganic substances with a specific chemical composition and crystal structure. Liquids are a distinct state of matter characterized by their ability to flow and take the shape of their container.
Is water a minaral?
Under the accepted definition of a mineral, water is not a mineral in its liquid or vapor forms, but it is in its solid form.
The sulfate mineral found on the surface of Mars that supports the presence of liquid water is called?
Jarosite is the sulfate mineral found on the surface of Mars that indicates the past presence of liquid water.
How cold would the sea water be in Antarctica?
Sea water remains liquid down to about 27 degrees F, based on the amount of mineral in the liquid water.
Is water minerals or not?
Minerals are solid substances. Liquid water is not a mineral, but naturally occurring ice, is a mineral. The definition of a mineral requires it be naturally occurring so, artificially frozen ice in your freezer isn't a mineral.
Why is the ice in a glacier considered a mineral but the water in a river is not considered a mineral?
Ice in a glacier meets the requirements for being a mineral, because it is natural, homogeneous, solid and crystalline, and has a definite chemical fomula. River water is liquid and therefore also not crystalline, so it is not a mineral. If and when the river water freezes into ice (naturally), that ice is a mineral.
Why is water not considered a mineral?
Water is not considered a mineral because it lacks a crystalline structure. Minerals are naturally occurring inorganic solids with a specific chemical composition and ordered atomic arrangement, which water does not exhibit. Water is a compound composed of two elements, hydrogen and oxygen, in a liquid state at room temperature.
Why is water ice considered a mineral?
Ice in a glacier is solid and has a definite chemical structure and water does not because water is liquid.
Is water a mineral and why?
Water cannot be considered a mineral because it is a liquid, however ice can be considered a mineral as long as it occurred naturally like from water dripping down your roof, and freezing. trust me- i had the same question on a chem. test and got it right.
