Which best describes a mineral?
Minerals must be solid ,have an orderly atomic structure have a recognized Chemical composition be naturally occurring and be generally inorganic in origin.
What is mineral alignment?
the alignment of a mineral structure
Is coal not a mineral because it has a crystal structure?
No. Coal is not a mineral for two reasons: it lacks a crystal structure and it is organic.
Is calcite a mineral and why?
By definition, a mineral must have a definite crystalline structure. Calcite has this. Glass is amorphous, meaning it does not have such a structure.
How can mineral composition affect a rocks color?
No. It can vary from the visible color of the mineral and, since visible color of them ineral is not a reliable indicator of type, it is important to learn to use streak, (along with other factors), to correctly identify a mineral.
How go you get the mineral amber?
Amber is not a mineral, because it has an organic origin and amorphous structure (no orderly internal arrangement of atoms).

Why is glass marble not considered a mineral?
In order to be a mineral, substances need to have fixed internal crystalline structure. Natural glass does not.
What determines the type of crystal structure in a mineral?
The internal arrangement of atoms.
What is an inorganic solid that has a orderly internal structure?
This question has a bit of ambiguity. Any material with a particular chemical makeup and an orderly arrangement of atoms is called a crystal. However, restricting the question to inorganic solid materials, probably means the best answer is mineral.
What is A naturally occurring inorganic solid that has an orderly crystalline structure and a definite chemical composition is a what?
it would be a mineral because it natural occurs but some can be organic because some are made with carbon like diamond
Do earthworms have an orderly structure?
Yes
What is a naturally inorganic solid with an orderly crystalline structure and a definite chemical composition?
That's a definition of "mineral". Minerals include lots of different things, from calcium to iron to quartz.

What compact bones are made of?
Compact bone is composed of an orderly matrix of collagen fibers and hydroxyapatite (a type of calcium and phosphate mineral) crystals. It is also known as cortical bone because it is primarily found in the outer layer of bones. It differs from spongy or trabecular bone in its orderly structure and the absence of the large spaces present in trabecular bone.
When ions arrange themselves in an orderly structure what is that structure known as?
These compounds forms large crystalline lattices.
A metal has a crystalline structure which means its atoms are arranged .?
in a compact, orderly pattern
