Native element minerals are those elements that occur in nature in uncombined form with a distinct mineral structure. The elemental class includes metals, intermetallic compounds, alloys, metalloids, and nonmetals.
Ein Mineral ist ein Element oder eine chemische Verbindung, die normalerweise kristallin ist und durch geologische Prozesse entstanden ist. Zu den geologischen Prozessen werden auch Prozesse auf anderen Planeten, Monden und sonstigen Himmelskörpern gerechnet.
The abundance and diversity of minerals is controlled directly by their chemistry, in turn dependent on elemental abundances in the Earth. The majority of minerals observed are derived from the Earth's crust. Eight elements account for most of the key components of minerals, due to their abundance in the crust.
This figure (1.28) shows the relationships between elements (bottom), minerals (center), and rocks (top). Elements, singly or in combination, make up minerals. For example, some of the most common elements in Earth’s crust make up the minerals quartz, alkali-feldspar, and biotite.
Minerals are formed by the chemical bonding that occurs between these elements. Most minerals are compounds containing multiple elements bonded together in a specific arrangement. Chemical bonding describes how these atoms attach with each other to form compounds, such as sodium (Na) and chlorine (Cl) combine to form the mineral halite with the ...
List common non- silicate minerals in oxide, sulfide, sulfate, and carbonate groups. Identify minerals using physical properties and identification tables. The term “minerals” as used in nutrition labels and pharmaceutical products is not the same as a mineral in a geological sense.
In geology, the classic definition of a mineral is: 1) naturally occurring, 2) inorganic, 3) solid at room temperature, 4) regular crystal structure, and 5) defined chemical composition. Some natural substances technically should not be considered minerals, but are included by exception.
