It doesn't have a very precise meaning. It can refer to an individual substance in a rock, such as quartz in granite. It can also be used for mixtures like a metal ore or rock salt. More generally, it can simply mean non-living.
In science, cleavage refers to the way in which a mineral breaks along certain planes due to its atomic structure. It results in smooth, flat surfaces that are often parallel and reflective of the internal arrangement of atoms within the mineral. Cleavage is one of the properties used to identify minerals.
In science, luster refers to the way light interacts with the surface of a mineral. To depict luster in a drawing, you can illustrate the reflection and appearance of light on the mineral's surface, highlighting characteristics such as metallic, glassy, earthy, or pearly luster depending on the mineral type. Adding shading and highlighting can help emphasize these visual qualities.
The chemical formula for copper ore can vary depending on the specific mineral composition. However, a common mineral form of copper ore is copper pyrite, which has the chemical formula CuFeS2.
Cuprous oxide is a chemical compound composed of copper and oxygen. It is commonly found in nature as a rare mineral called paramelaconite. It can also be synthesized in the laboratory for various applications in materials science and industry.
In science, H2SO4 represents sulfuric acid, which is a strong mineral acid commonly used in various industrial processes and laboratory experiments. It is identified by its chemical formula, with the "H" representing hydrogen, the "S" representing sulfur, and the "O" representing oxygen. Sulfuric acid is highly corrosive and can react violently with water and other substances.
Silicate - describes a mineral that contains silicone and oxygen and usually one or more other elements.
It is not a mineral because it is organic and minerals are inorganic. GO SCIENCE! - crazyone
A mineral is a naturally occuring, non-aggregate, solid and stable at room temperature substance with a specific chemical formula.
Science, my friend. Science
a mineral that has a low number on the mohs scale

It is a mineral, learned it in science Yep you are absolutely right, its a mineral! thanx!
In mineralogy, streak is the powder from a mineral when you rub it against a light colored hard surface. Streak is used to identify some minerals.
gem, mineral, magma, volcano, and inorganic is 5 earth science words
arn't you good at science? if you are work it out. if you are not get good at science then work it out. Der brains. :-s
No, "felsite" is not a mineral. Perhaps you mean feldspar?
because science says so
