Is salt water a mineral?
No. a mineral is a compound of fixed chemical composition and of fixed crystal structure.
What does not define a mineral?
anything as long as it is not one of the four statements that define an mineral. -formed in nature - chemical makeup -cyrstal stucture -solid
Is wood a mineral?
None. A mineral is a naturally occurring, inorganic, homogeneous solid with a definite (but not fixed) chemical composition and an ordered atomic arrangement. As wood is completely organic, there are no minerals in wood.
What is the science behind colorscience mineral makeup?
Colorscience mineral makeup is a fusion of traditional makeups with the benefits of skincare products such as moisturisers. As such the science behind it is the combination and finding of chemical compounds that acheive both desired effects.
Chemical name for slate?
Slate is not a specific mineral, and thus has no particular chemical composition. It is a sedimentary rock, lightly metamorphosed, and formed from fine grained parent material. It may include fine fossils.
How is the chemical stability of a mineral is related to the temperature at which the mineral forms?
The strength of the minerals chemical bond between its atom determines its chemical stability .
What minerals have the greatest chemical stability?
Minerals with a simple composition and strong bonding tend to have the greatest chemical stability. For example, minerals like quartz (SiO2) and diamond (C) have extremely stable chemical structures and are resistant to chemical weathering. Other stable minerals include halite (NaCl), calcite (CaCO3), and pyrite (FeS2).
Does each mineral have its own properties?
The properties are affected by its chemical composition, method of formation, crystal latticework, and environment surrounding its formation.
What makes a mineral unique?
the number of protons and atoms bonding
What is mineral's cleavage?
Cleavage is the tendency of a mineral to break along smooth planes parallel to zones of weak bonding.
What property of a mineral is determined by its chemical composition?
The color of a mineral sample is determined by its chemical composition
Why is a boulder not a mineral?
A mineral is a naturally occuring chemical compound. A mineral is different from a rock/boulder which can be an aggregate of minerals, or non minerals and does not have a specific chemical composition as a mineral does
Why is the chemical composition of a mineral important?
it means a naturally-occaring, inorganic solid that has a crystal structure and a definite chemical composition
What is the chemical number of the mineral aluminum?
The atomic number (not chemical number) of aluminium (not mineral Al) is 13.
