Document Summary

Define a mineral: define electrons, protons and neutrons and their electrical, explain the process of ionization and why it occurs, write out bowen"s continuous and discontinuous reaction series, describe the difference between atoms, molecules, minerals, and (ans). A mineral is a natural occurring, inorganic solid with a regularly repeating internal structure and chemical composition that varies within defined limits properties. (ans). Electrons are a negatively charged sub-atomic particle, protons are positively charged sub-atomic particles while neutrons have not charge whatsoever. These subatomic particles lie inside the nucleus of atoms and gives rise to many different variations. rocks. (ans). Atoms are comprised of various quantities of protons, neutrons, and electrons. These various numbers are what give rise to tons of different atoms. A molecule is comprised up of two or more atoms. They are bond together with chemical bonds and the sharing of electrons between the atoms.
