Copper, Silver, and Gold occur as elements instead of compounds.
Copper, Silver, and Gold occur as elements instead of compounds.
Minerals are inorganic, but most are compounds, not elements.
When a hot water solution begins to cool, the elements and compounds leave the solution and crystallize as minerals
Substances composed of two or more elements bonded together in definite proportions are chemical compounds by definition. This is not a correct definition for minerals, because some of them are mixtures of more than one compound, and some minerals, such as gold and diamond, are elements instead of compounds.
False. Most minerals are compounds, which means that they are combinations of elements. Additionally, some minerals are elements by themselves.

A lot are, but a lot are chemical elements, too. I would guess that more minerals are compounded of two or more elements.
