To be naturally-occurring, the substance must not be man made. The inorganic requirement states that the substance must not be constructed by an organism. The solid characteristic eliminates any substance that is liquid or gas. Definite chemical composition means that the substance must have chemical composition that falls within a specific range. The characteristic that requires the substance to have an ordered internal structure states that the atoms are arranged in a repeating pattern.
