Because a soluble in body liquids, easy assimilable, nontoxic form is needed.
Not necessarily.There are several requirements for a substance to be considered a mineral.It must be formed naturally.It must be solid.It must have a definite structure.It must be inorganic.Some ionic compounds, such as sodium acetate, are organic, while many others are synthesized, such as sodium hydroxide or do not occur in nature such as silver nitrate.
Yes, almost all minerals are compounds.
Yes, almost all minerals are compounds.
The periodic table in as array of elements and not minerals or compounds.
No - most minerals are inorganic.
False. Most minerals are compounds, which means that they are combinations of elements. Additionally, some minerals are elements by themselves.
Yes, minerals are inorganic.
Minerals are naturally occurring inorganic substances with a specific chemical composition and structure, while compounds are substances composed of two or more elements chemically bonded together. Some minerals are compounds, as they are composed of specific chemical elements bonded in a particular way. Conversely, not all compounds are minerals, as compounds can be synthetic or organic in nature.

No, they are organic compounds.
No, rocks and minerals do not typically consist of organic compounds. Rocks are composed of different combinations of minerals, which are inorganic substances. Organic compounds, on the other hand, are compounds that contain carbon and are typically derived from living organisms.
