What else can I help you with?
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.
What a mineral is and give examples of each type of mineral.?
A mineral is a naturally occurring, inorganic solid with a definite chemical composition and a crystalline structure. Minerals are classified into three main types: silicate minerals (like quartz and feldspar), which contain silicon and oxygen; non-silicate minerals (such as calcite and gypsum), which do not have that structure; and ore minerals (like hematite and bauxite), which are economically valuable for extracting metals. Each type of mineral plays a significant role in geology, industry, and various natural processes.
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).

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 determines the type of crystal structure in a mineral?
The internal arrangement of atoms.
Do earthworms have an orderly structure?
Yes
Why isn't oxygen a mineral?
Oxygen is not considered a mineral because it is a gas and lacks a crystalline structure, which is a defining characteristic of minerals. Minerals are solid, inorganic substances with specific chemical compositions and orderly arrangements of atoms. Oxygen, existing primarily as a gas in its diatomic form (O2), does not meet these criteria.
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
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.
What is a naturally occurring inorganic solid with an orderly crystalline structure and a definite chemical?
That's a definition of "mineral". Minerals include lots of different things, from calcium to iron to quartz.

A metal has a crystalline structure which means its atoms are arranged .?
in a compact, orderly pattern
Do sow bugs have an orderly structure?
Yeah..
