Nope. Minerals are different and each one has a specific set of chemical properties that make them up. Atoms make elements,elements make minerals(SiO2), and minerals make rocks. Hope this helps.
Yes. Examples include quartzite (quartz) and limestone (calcite).
Rocks may be made of one type of mineral or a combination of several.
A primary property is one that all minerals possess, whereas a special property is found in only one or a few minerals.
Any rock contains minerals. So does all food. If you are looking for minerals, rocks and mineral specimens, you can find them everywhere in nature.
Mineralsare homogeneous, naturally occurring, inorganic solids. Each mineral has a definite chemical composition and a characteristic crystalline structure. A mineral may be a single element such as copper (Cu) or gold (Au), or it may be a compound made up of a number of elements. About 2,500 different minerals have been described.Rocks are made up of one or more minerals.
Minerals are one or more substances, especially in a rock. Nearly ALL rocks are composed of minerals. In fact, nearly everything we use is made of, or contains, minerals. Without minerals none of the devices and structures that surround us in our daily lives could be made. Some minerals are rare and highly prized fir their characteristics, such as gold and diamonds.
Rocks may be made of one type of mineral or a combination of several.
Yes,rocks are mixtures of minerals.They are combined with other mixtures of minerals.
Rocks and minerals are not alike unless a rock is made of just one mineral (eg a Quartzite or an Anorthosite). Normally rocks are made of one or more minerals.
a compound mineral is a mineral that is made up of more than one element
Rocks which are made of minerals can be made up of many minerals and they can also be made up of only one mineral. Generally rocks are made of two or more minerals
Rocks which are made of minerals can be made up of many minerals and they can also be made up of only one mineral. Generally rocks are made of two or more minerals
A rock is composed of multiple minerals, while minerals are made up of one substance, like copper.
Every mineral is made of one or more elements on the periodic table; there is nothing else that minerals can be made of.
Well coal is a rock and rocks are made up of one or more minerals. So technically coal is a mineral because it is a rock and rocks are made of minerals.
rock
Minerals are individual chemical compounds. Rocks are made up of more than one mineral (except for rock salt which is the mineral halite)
In a nutshell, rocks are composed of combinations of separate minerals.
