What is mineral ? Give some examples |
|
Answer» Minerals are the ores from which iron may or may not be extracted. e.g.pyrolusite, cuprite. A mineral is a naturally occurring chemical compound,usually of crystalline form and not produced by life processes. A mineral has one specific chemical composition, whereas a rock can be an aggregate of different minerals or mineraloids. The study of minerals is called mineralogy.Example: copper, magnese, bauxite |
