Answer:
A “mineral” is a naturally occurring, homogeneous solid element or compound, of definite chemical composition, having an ordered atomic structure and, thus, in a crystalline condition. “Rocks,” the solid materials of the earth, are aggregates of one or more minerals.
The Dana system divides minerals into eight basic classes. The classes are: native elements, silicates, oxides, sulfides, sulfates, halides, carbonates, phosphates, and mineraloids. The chart below has pictures and descriptions of each class with a link to more examples and details.
