Want this question answered?
Minerals are the components in the Earth that combine to form rocks. Minerals are inorganic naturally occurring substances, have a definite range of chemical composition, are solids, and have a crystalline structure.Minerals are solid, inorganic substances made from a combination of chemical elements.a solid, naturally occurring inorganic substance.
Minerals are substances that naturally occur. This is solid that has a chemical formula.
Both are solid and naturally occurring materials with chemical compositions. They also make up the earth around us
The definition for a mineral is: Mineral - A naturally occurring solid with a highly ordered atomic arrangement and a definite (but not fixed) chemical composition. It is usually formed by inorganic processes. This definition is drawn straight from a book called The 22nd edition of the Manual of Mineral Science by Cornelis Klein. Key words/phrases are: -natural (they are formed naturally on earth) -highly ordered atomic arrangement -definite but not fixed chemical composition (ex: Quartz is always SiO2 or some form of that) -formed inorganically (this is currently being debated because it is thought that some minerals may actually have help from organic substances.)
Minerals must be solid ,have an orderly atomic structure have a recognized Chemical composition be naturally occurring and be generally inorganic in origin.
a rock
rock
This naturally occurring solid mixture is called a compound.
A rock is a solid, naturally created material of possibly one, but usually two or more minerals.
a naturally occurring solid mixture of minerals or organic matter is called
Rocks are solid substainces that are made of 2 or more minerals and can have organic matter in them as well. On the other hand, minerals are naturally formed inorganic solids that have definite crystalline structures. Rocks and minerals are made through different processes.
Minerals are the components in the Earth that combine to form rocks. Minerals are inorganic naturally occurring substances, have a definite range of chemical composition, are solids, and have a crystalline structure.Minerals are solid, inorganic substances made from a combination of chemical elements.a solid, naturally occurring inorganic substance.
A mineral is a solid that occurs naturally in the Earth. A rock is a solid combination of minerals which also occurs naturally.
It is a naturally occurring solid formed through geological processes that has a characteristic chemical composition. I am pretty sure this is accurate....:)
Some are called Bananas for me
A mineral is a naturally formed,inoranic solid that forms crystls and is alwaly made of of the same elements.
Minerals refer to the solid inorganic substances that occur naturally.
