Minerals definition MINERAL : Natural occur inorganic aggregate of metals and non metals . Or Inorganic compound having a definite chemical composition and crystal structure (atomic structure). Or minerals are the forms in which metals are found in the earth crust and as sea bed deposit depend on their reactivity with their environment, particular with oxygen , sulphur, and co2. Anything of economical value which is extracted from the earth. Characteristic of mineral 1-Minerals are homogeneous in physical and chemical composition. 2-Minerals shows isomorphism (atomic structure do not change )(with the same atomic structure but different chemical formulas) ustal structure remains same) Example- olivine (Mg,Fe)2 SiO4 in different olivines the ratio of Mg /Fe atoms varies 3-Mineral also shows polymorphism (different crustal structure) same chemical composition but different physical properties. Example – graphite and diamond quartz, tridymite, cristobalite, stishovite and coesite--SiO2--quartz forms at low temperature and forms in the hexagonal system,
