What are the characteristics of a mineral?

Back

A mineral has a definite chemical composition, a crystal structure, and is naturally occurring.

Front

What are the five criteria that define a mineral?

The five criteria are: 1) Solid, 2) Naturally Occurring, 3) Inorganic, 4) Fixed Chemical Formula, 5) Crystal Structure.

Front

What is a crystal structure?

Back

A crystal structure is the orderly, repeating arrangement of atoms in a mineral, which gives it a specific shape.

Front

What does 'naturally occurring' mean in the context of minerals?

Back

'Naturally occurring' means that a mineral forms through natural processes without human intervention.
