To day in class we learned what is a mineral and what is a non-mineral this is a way we learned to remind us what is a mineral
Solid
cannot be a liquid or gas
Natural occurring
Found in nature, not man made
Inorganic
Is not alive and never was
Fixed composition
has chemical formula most are forms from compounds of 2 or more elements some minerals consist of on elements
Crystal form
a determines structural in which atom are formed
Then we learned what is a non- mineral. It is the opposite of a mineral. It is a non-mineral if it was once living or living. Here are some examples
wood is a non-mineral because it was once living
gold is a mineral because for many reasons for exampled it occurs naturally
