write shortnote on solid solution in mineral
Answers
Answer:
Thus, some minerals show complete solid solution under one set of temperature/pressure conditions, and only limited solid solution under different temperature/pressure conditions. ... The alkali feldspars (albite - NaAlSi3O8 - orthoclase - KAlSi3O8) form a complete solid solution at high temperature.
Answer:
A naturally occurring substance that has a definite chemical composition is called a mineral
Minerals are not evenly distributed rather they are scattered over the space. They are found or concentrated in certain regions or rock formations.

☆Occurrence of Minerals
There are some inaccessible areas where some minerals are found such as the Arctic ocean bed and Antarctica. Minerals are formed in different types of geological environment under varying conditions. They are created by natural processes without any human intervention.

☆Identification of Minerals
Minerals can be identified on the basis of their physical properties such as colour, density, hardness and chemical property such as solubility.
