Mineral.
A mineral is any naturally occurring inorganic solid with a regular crystalline structure and a definite chemical composition. So yes.
it would be a mineral because it natural occurs but some can be organic because some are made with carbon like diamond
Yes. Minerals are naturally occurring inorganic elements or compounds with a definite internal structure of ions and a chemical formular.
Naturally occurring: Minerals form through natural geological processes. Inorganic: Minerals are not made by living organisms. Solid: Minerals have a definite and orderly crystalline structure. Specific chemical composition: Each mineral has a specific chemical formula. Definite physical properties: Minerals have unique physical properties like color, hardness, cleavage, and luster.
A mineral is a naturally occurring, inorganic, solid substance, with a crystalline structure and a narrow range of chemical composition.
A cupcake is not a naturally-occurring substance, with a specific chemical composition and crystal structure; Therefore, it is not a mineral. Its natural ingredients are minerals, though.Refer to the dictionary definition of a mineral below:Definition of Mineral-any of a class of substances occurring in nature, usually comprising inorganic substances, as quartz or feldspar, of definite chemical composition and usually of definite crystal structure, but sometimes also including rocks formed by these substances as well as certain natural products of organic origin, as asphalt or coal.-Dictionary.comActually- In accordance with the above definition-Most of the ingredients in a cupcake are not minerals either- They are not "naturally occurring" nor do most of them follow the definition of a mineral.Eggs, sugar, milk, flour, yeast... none of these are minerals.
Lab-grown diamonds have the same chemical composition and crystal structure as natural diamonds, but they are not considered minerals because they are not formed through natural geological processes. Minerals are naturally occurring inorganic substances with a specific chemical composition and crystal structure.
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

Minerals have to have these five characteristics. The five characteristics are solid, crystal structure, chemical composition, made by nature, and inorganic.Those are five characteristics a mineral are required to have to be a mineral.
Minerals are natural substances that have a definite crystal structure. They are solid, inorganic substances that are formed in nature through geological processes and have a specific chemical composition and orderly arrangement of atoms. Minerals exhibit a wide range of physical properties such as color, hardness, and luster.
Minerals are formed through a natural process and are all inorganic. All of them are also solid with a definite composition and structure.
