What is the difference between mineral and atom?

An atom is the smallest component of any element having all the chemical properties of that specific element. A compound is a substance consisting of two or more different elements. Minerals are solid homogeneous inorganic compounds having specific chemical compositions that can be represented by chemical formulas. They are different from rocks, which can be a mixture of minerals and non-minerals and do not have a specific chemical composition.


Some minerals with a closely packed atom structure have a high?

Some minerals with a closely packed atom structure have a high density. This close packing of atoms results in a tightly packed crystal lattice, leading to a high atomic mass per unit volume. Examples of such minerals include diamond and gold.
