false
True. Most rocks are composed of a variety of minerals, with each mineral contributing to the overall composition and characteristics of the rock. This mixture of minerals is what gives different rocks their unique properties.
Minerals are naturally occurring inorganic solids with a definite chemical composition and crystal structure. While many minerals are indeed compounds formed from the chemical combination of two or more elements, some minerals, like native elements (e.g., gold, silver, copper), consist of single elements and thus are not compounds. Therefore, while the majority of minerals are compounds, the presence of native elements highlights the diversity in mineral formation.
This is true.
The bulk of Earth's minerals are combinations of elements.
