A mineral.
Is a mineral a natural substance that has a definite crystal structure?
A mineral is any naturally occurring inorganic solid with a regular crystalline structure and a definite chemical composition. So yes.
How is water classified as a mineral?
Water cannot be classified as a mineral, ice can as long as its naturally occurring though so in some cases ice can but water may never because it is a liquid. And liquids can't be minerals because its not a solid. For mineral to be one is must be natural occurring, inorganic, solid, crystal structure, and definite chemical composition
What is naturally occurring inorganic solid material?
inorganic materials form minerals. hope it helped
What 4 things must be true for something to be called a mineral?
To be naturally-occurring, the substance must not be man made. The inorganic requirement states that the substance must not be constructed by an organism. The solid characteristic eliminates any substance that is liquid or gas. Definite chemical composition means that the substance must have chemical composition that falls within a specific range. The characteristic that requires the substance to have an ordered internal structure states that the atoms are arranged in a repeating pattern.
