Document Summary
Minerals: naturally occurring, inorganic, solid, repeating crystalline structure, definite chemical composition with minor variation. 2a: minerals are crystals: euhedral: a crystal whose faces are well-formed and whose shape reflects the crystal form, anhedral: crystalline mineral grains with without well formed crystal faces, precipitate: to form a solid from solution. Precipitation: a salt-water solution is composed of a solvent (water) and a solute (halite, three interactions to consider, solvent-solvent: dipole-dipole forces, check slides, check slide. 2c: rocks are mineral aggregates: rocks are composed of minerals, minerals are not composed of rocks.
