What are two examples of minerals?

Answer 1

An atom is one unit of any substance. A compound element is two or more elements chemically combined so they no longer have distinct properties. And minerals are naturally occuring, inorganic substances.

Answer 2

A mineral, which by definition must be formed through natural processes, is distinct from the synthetic equivalents produced in the laboratory. Man-made versions of minerals, including emeralds, sapphires, diamonds, and other valuable gemstones, are regularly produced in industrial and research facilities and are often nearly identical to their natural counterparts.

Ice, the solid state of water (H2O), is considered a mineral, but liquid water is not; liquid Mercury, though sometimes found in mercury ore deposits, is not classified as a mineral either.

Since a mineral has a definite composition, it can be expressed by a specific chemical formula. Quartz (silicon dioxide), for instance, is rendered as SiO2, because the elements silicon (Si) and oxygen (O) are its only constituents and they invariably appear in a 1:2 ratio.

Answer 3

An atom is the smallest component of any element having all the chemical properties of that specific element. A compound is a substance consisting of two or more different elements. Minerals are solid homogeneous inorganic compounds having specific chemical compositions that can be represented by chemical formulas. They are different from rocks, which can be a mixture of minerals and non-minerals and do not have a specific chemical composition.

Answer 4

Minerals are made up of either single elements in crystal form, or by compounds of elements in a crystal form. An example of an element mineral would be gold, and a mineral which is a compound would be quartz. The overall temp will effect if it is a element or a compound s

Answer 5

A mineral is a pure substance with an ordered atomic structure. By contrast, a compound is made up of two or more different chemical elements.

Answer 6

A compound is more than one element that are joined by chemical bonds, and can only be separated by chemical means, but a mineral is simply a solid form of a element or a compound.

Answer 7

A example of a mineral is both a diamond and a computer that I know!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 8

A mineral is a solid element or compound that has a specific chemical composition, an orderly atomic structure, and definite physical properties. Examples of minerals are iron and magnesium.
