Chemical Composition. naturally occurring, . inorganic solid . with a specific chemical composition . a definite crystalline structure. Minerals can form from the cooling of magma which is the molten material found beneath Earth’s surface as magma rises closer to the surface the molten compounds no longer move freely and they begin to interact chemically to form minerals. If you closed your eyes and tasted different foods, you could probably determine what the foods are by noting properties such as saltiness or sweetness. . You can also determine the identity of a mineral by noting different properties.. 1) Rocks cannot be made of organic material. 2) Luster is classified as metallic and non-metallic. 3) Scientist use tests to identify minerals. 4) Minerals that make up rocks can be mined as ores. 5) A liquid or gas can be classified as a mineral. All rocks are made up of 2 or more of these minerals. . Minerals are not rocks!. Silicon and oxygen are the most abundant elements in the crust and in minerals. Oxygen is the most abundant element in minerals. A pure substance, such as a mineral, can be identified from observations and tests performed to determine its physical properties. These properties are based on the unique structure of the substance.. Bell Work 9/2/14 1 What element is Group 1 and Period 4? Potassium 2. What is that element ’ s atomic number? 19 3.

Our estimates of pressures and temperatures experienced by rocks during metamorphism are based on metamorphic reactions.. Mineral Reactions. There are two basic types of mineral reactions:.
