Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Minerals are the substances which are solid and does not contain carbon atoms.

For example, NaCl is an inorganic mineral.

Therefore, the statement minerals are inorganic is true.

2. Human beings or all living beings contain carbon and hydrogen bonding, therefore, they are able to perform various biochemical reactions. Hence, they are alive.

Whereas inorganic means that something has never been alive. As there is no carbon atom present in inorganic compounds. But there are minerals like iron ore, gold etc which are non-living things.

3. Halite is another name for rock salt and is a mineral with a cubic crystal pattern.

Also, the mineral form of halite is sodium chloride.
