I'm doing my science homework now and i saw this so I'll just answer it. (9th), it is commonly known as rock salt
CRYSTAL STRUCTURE
What is the crystalline structure of halite, commonly known as rock salt? Recall that halite is composed of positively charged sodium ions bonded ionically to negatively charged chlorine ions. In the resulting pattern, each sodium ion is surrounded by 6 chlorine ions and each chlorine ion is surrounded y six sodium ions. his pattern is repeateted throughout the mineral. As a result of this arrangement of ions, halite typically occurs in crystals that have a cubic shape.
and here's just another thing...
NaCl Composition: Molecular Weight = 58.44 gm Sodium 39.34 % Na 53.03 % Na2O Chlorine 60.66 % Cl 60.66 % Cl - % Cl -13.69 % -O=Cl2 ______ ______ 100.00 % 100.00 % = TOTAL OXIDE Empirical Formula: NaCl Environment: Marine or continental evaporite deposits. IMA Status: Valid Species (Pre-IMA) Prehistoric Locality: World wide in sedimentary basins. Link to MinDat.org Location Data. Name Origin: From the Greek halos, meaning "salt" and lithos meaning "rock." Synonym: ICSD 18189 Murate of Sota PDF 5-628 Rock Salt Sodium Chloride

The Mohs Scale is what is used to measure the relative hardness, or scratch resistance, of minerals. Mohs hardness often agrees with absolute hardness, which is another way of measuring the relative hardness of minerals.
I found different types of minerals in my yard.
Many minerals are radioactive to one degree or another, from allanite to zircon.
Those are minerals. Another mineral is e.g. sodium.
minerals are oxidized when oxygen combines with another substance.
The word minerals is a noun, a plural, common noun, a word for things. The pronoun used to take the place of the noun minerals is they as a subject and them as the object of a sentence or a preposition.The appropriate pronoun for the singular noun mineral is it.

There are no man made minerals in existence. The word "mineral" refers to a naturally occuring substance.
