A solid in which the atoms are arranged in orderly repeating patterns?
When a solid's ions and/or molecules are arranged in definite pattern it is called a crystal. And the action of solidifying a substance to form a crystal is called crystallization. Many minerals are found in the form of crystals.
Molecular structure of natural gas?
The molecules are not bound making them free to move around. They have no definite shape or volume.

How come cupcake is not considered a mineral?
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.
