mineral is the answer
A mineral must be a solid, have a definite chemical formula, have a crystalline structure, and be naturally occuring.
1.must be a solid! (gasses & liquids are not minerals. even if it was considered amineral as a solid.)2.naturally made3.definite chemical make up4.crystalline structure
Definite chemical composition is when a mineral is made of the same material throughout. Basically when a mineral is only made of one material all the way through, not part iron in one part and then gold in the rest.
a mineral is defined as any inorganic substance that occurs in nature and has a definite chemical composition.
it might be substance
The state of matter (solid, liquid, gas, plasma) is a physical not a chemical property.
The 4 major characteristics of a mineral are: -It is formed by natural processes- not man made -It is inorganic- it's not alive, it never will be -It is a crystalline solid- a definite volume and shape with a repeating structure -It can be an element or compound with a definite chemical composition- made the same each time w/ and orderly arrangement of atoms Also, another answer might be: -Texture -Hardness -Luster or shine -Color/streak Hope that helps
because of its molecules solid molecules are very close to each other that's why they make definite shape, while liquid and gas molecules are far apart.
sodium and chlorine gas make salt
make sure you have gloves on, and before you dispose the solid, tell your instructor because they might want to use it for something else. If you are to dispose it, then make sure you put it into the right waste container, and make sure that their are no hazardous chemical on the solid so it doesnt make a reaction when you put it in the waste container.
Indium is a metal, solid, natural, with a gray color.
