The bulk of Earth's minerals are combinations of elements.
No - you use of the term "single element and compound" is meaningless - ALL compounds are made up of more than one element. You need to go back to you teacher and ask him/her to explain the basics of chemistry to you as you clearly do not understand them.
Mineral: Are homogenous, naturally occuring, inorganic solids. A mineral may be a single element such as copper (Cu) or silver (Ag), or it could be a compound made up of a number of elements. Rock: Is made up of two or more minerals.
a compound can be made out of 2 or more elements
This is a nonsensical question. Minerals are solid, crystalline, inorganic molecules. They are made of elements, and so elements are obviously not made of minerals.
No - most minerals are inorganic.
Most minerals are compounds, made up of two or more elements. Very few minerals are composed of only a single element, such as native copper or gold. The majority of minerals form through complex chemical reactions involving multiple elements.
A single compound is a substance made up of two or more elements that are chemically bonded together in a fixed ratio. For example, water (H2O) is a single compound made of hydrogen and oxygen atoms bonded together.
The reason why there are more minerals than the number of elements is because minerals are not made up of a single element only. They are made of more than one elements and in some case a combination of elements .
Rocks are made of minerals. Only a few minerals are rock forming and most rock is made from a combination of the commonest of these. feldspars, quartz, mica, olivine, calcite, pyroxene and amphiboles
Its called a compound. When 2 elements come together they will sometimes be able to form a compound. a compound is 2 elements formed together to make 1 single substance.
No, granite rock is not a compound - it is a type of igneous rock composed of various minerals like quartz, feldspar, and mica. Each of these minerals is a compound made up of different elements.
It is usually a compound- several elements
Sand is a mixture, not a compound, as it is made up of different elements such as silicon, oxygen, and occasionally other minerals. These elements are not chemically bonded together in a specific ratio to form a new substance.
No - you use of the term "single element and compound" is meaningless - ALL compounds are made up of more than one element. You need to go back to you teacher and ask him/her to explain the basics of chemistry to you as you clearly do not understand them.
Rock road ice cream is a compound because elements are single pure elements. The sugar in ice cream itself is made up of C12H22O11. When something is made up of more than one element, it is a compound.
Rock is not a compound or an element. Rocks are made up of minerals, which are compounds or mixtures of elements. Minerals are naturally occurring inorganic substances with a specific chemical composition and atomic structure.
Mineral: Are homogenous, naturally occuring, inorganic solids. A mineral may be a single element such as copper (Cu) or silver (Ag), or it could be a compound made up of a number of elements. Rock: Is made up of two or more minerals.
