* Naturally Occurring
-Found in nature, not man made-
* Inorganic
-Is not alive, never was, nonliving-
* Fixed Composition
-Has a chemical mixed formula, most are formed from compounds of two or more elements, some minerals consist of one element ex. Au

P.S.
I hope I answered your questions.
That's all my teacher gave me.

What are the five characteristics of a rock that would make it a mineral?
In order for a rock to be classified as a mineral, it must possess five characteristics: naturally occurring, inorganic, solid, have a definite chemical composition, and possess a crystalline structure.
What five characteristics of a rock will make it a mineral?
For a rock to be considered a mineral, it must have a definite chemical composition, a crystalline structure, be naturally occurring, be inorganic, and have a solid form. Without meeting all of these characteristics, a rock cannot be classified as a mineral.

What 5 characteristics does a mineral must have?
A mineral must be a naturally occurring, homogeneous solid with a defined chemical composition and a highly ordered atomic arrangement.
What is a characteristic of all mineral?
Minerals, although they can "grow" as crystals, are not alive and are therefore classified as inorganic matter.To be classified as a mineral, a substance must be a solid, have a crystalline structure, be inorganic, be naturally occuring, and have a very specific range of chemical formulae.

What is the minimum mass or volume requirement for an object to be classified as a natural satellite?
There is no minimum mass or volume requirements for an object to be classified as a natural satellite. For this classification to happen, a body must orbit around a planet or other celestial body.
How is water classified as a mineral?
Water cannot be classified as a mineral, ice can as long as its naturally occurring though so in some cases ice can but water may never because it is a liquid. And liquids can't be minerals because its not a solid. For mineral to be one is must be natural occurring, inorganic, solid, crystal structure, and definite chemical composition
