Answer:
A mineral is an inorganic, crystalline solid. A mineral is formed through natural processes and has a definite chemical composition. Minerals can be identified by their characteristic physical properties such as crystalline structure, hardness, streak, and cleavage.
Explanation:
The composition of a mineral can be expressed as a CHEMICAL FORMULA, which simply gives the proportions of the different elements and groups of elements in the mineral. The latter notion (groups of elements) comes into play for those minerals which have a restricted range of composition.
