If you could examine a mineral with a powerful microscope that reveals atoms and ions, you would see the arrangement of individual atoms within the crystal lattice structure of the mineral. This would give you insight into the bonding between atoms, the types of elements present, and the overall crystal morphology of the mineral at a microscopic level.
No one knows how many atoms are in a sponge. There has to be billions of atoms because in one strand of your hair there is about a million atoms.
how many atoms are there in magnesiumoxide 2 atoms are in magnesium 2 atoms are in magnesium
There are a total of three atoms in one molecule of sulfur dioxide: one sulfur atom and two oxygen atoms.
There are a total of 6 atoms in this formula - one copper, one sulfur and four oxygen atoms.
Yes, a mineral can be made of one element. For example, diamond is a mineral composed of just carbon atoms arranged in a specific crystal structure.
The definition of mineral atoms are as follows: The grouping of individual atoms. These atoms have electrical charges, but only by gaining electrons.
The arrangement of atoms in a mineral sample can cause the formation of crystals.
A diamond is a mineral, not a rock. It is composed of carbon atoms arranged in a crystal lattice structure, which makes it a mineral. Rocks, on the other hand, are made up of one or more minerals.
During mineral growth, atoms accumulate on existing surfaces or boundaries within the mineral structure. This process contributes to the enlargement of mineral crystals and the formation of new mineral layers.
Well color is caused by a lot of things, one cause is defects (missing atoms or to many atoms) in the crystal lattice (how the atoms are arranged and connected). Also if an element that is not suppose to be the mineral, makes it way into the crystal it may change the color. So Yes the way the atoms are arranged can change the color. Causes of color is a very complicated question as there are many causes and some are very poorly understood.Answer2 Consider Opal for example, SiO2.nH2O. Has many colours, even without impurities. [perhaps internal interference and refraction in this case?]

They come together as crystals.

I would say taste is the only mineral characteristic that can not be related back to the way the atoms are arranged within a mineral. NOTE: I would not recommend tasting a mineral unless you are 90% sure it is halite(aka table salt), as some mineral contain toxic elements.
Magnesium nitrate is MgNO3 and there are one magnesium atom one nitrogen atom three oxygen atoms no potassium atoms
