Question

Formulate a statement that explains the relationship between chemical elements and mineral properties..

PLEASE HELP ME OUT!!!

Answer 1

A mineral refers to a naturally taking place compound or inorganic element exhibiting an orderly internal composition and characteristic crystal form, chemical composition, and physical features. The minerals may be non-metallic like talc, or metallic like gold.

The luster, color, hardness, streak, fracture, cleavage, and crystal form are the major beneficial physical characteristics for determining the majority of minerals. Other features like magnetism, reaction with acid, taste, tenacity, feel, odor, and the existence of striations are beneficial in determining some kinds of minerals.

Answer 2

Molecular structures of an object directly affect its physical properties (especially intensive features) such as color, density, melting and boiling points, malleability etcetera.
An example is a type of bond between the atoms and molecules in an object that influence its physical properties. Covalent bonds, for instance, render the strength of an object but deny it electric conductivity.
