∙ 14y agoI'm not positive... but I believe that since minerals (as part of the 5 characteristics of a mineral) that minerals must have a definite chemical compound, there should be elements included as well.... funny I have the same question for HW.

∙ 11y agoElements are unique primary building blocks of matter, each defined by the number of protons in its nucleus. Minerals are crystalline solids formed of specific molecules made of specific elements - changing the element in the base molecule often changes the color and structure of the mineral.

Inorganic compounds which are found in the earth are called?
Rocks and minerals
Does The rocks and minerals of the Earth consist of organic compounds?
No, rocks and minerals do not typically consist of organic compounds. Rocks are composed of different combinations of minerals, which are inorganic substances. Organic compounds, on the other hand, are compounds that contain carbon and are typically derived from living organisms.
Are minerals considered inorganic elements?
Minerals are inorganic, but most are compounds, not elements.
Elements and compounds leave the solutions during cooling and what as minerals?
When a hot water solution begins to cool, the elements and compounds leave the solution and crystallize as minerals
