Answers
A mineral is a naturally occurring, inorganic compound with a unique chemical structure and physical properties. A rock is a solid, stony mass
composed of a combination of minerals or other organic compounds chemical composition.
•Minerals are homogenous substances with a very specific chemical composition
•Minerals are inorganic
•Minerals usually have a specific shape.
•Minerals help in blood coagulation, in bone formation and muscle contraction, and some have nutritive value for the human body.
•Minerals are classified according to their chemical and physical properties, but never by the way they were formed.
•Rocks are aggregates with variable composition and are usually a mix of multiple minerals
•Rocks can contain organic matter – •Rocks do not have a definite shape.
•Rocks don’t have any nutritional value.
