Answer:
- Calcium is homogeneous Three percent of Earth's crust is made of calcium Mineral
- Glycerin is a viscous liquid at room temperature. Non-mineral
- Emerald is hard and does not decay. Its chemical formula is Be3Al2(SIO3)6 Mineral
- Chlorophyll is produced in plants during photosynthesis Non-mineral
Explanation:
Minerals are generally solid and inorganic substances, with defined crystalline structures, that exist in the earth's crust, formed by one or more chemical elements.
Calcium is the fifth element in abundance in the earth's crust, it is found forming mineral compounds such as calcite and dolomite or rocks such as marble, limestone and dolomite.
Glycerin is a colorless, slimy and sweet-tasting substance that is obtained from animal and vegetable fats and oils. According to its characteristics, it does not have a solid structure, which is why it is considered a non-mineral.
Emerald is a cyclic silicate of beryllium and aluminum whose chemical formula is Be3Al2(SiO3)6, it has a well-defined crystalline structure.
Chlorophyll is a green pigment that is present in the leaves and stems of many vegetables and is responsible for the photosynthesis process; does not have a crystalline structure defined by what is considered a non-mineral.
Answer:
Calcium is homogeneous Three
percent of Earth's crust is made
of calcium → Minerals
Glycerin is a viscous liquid
at room temperature. → Non mineral
Emerald is hard and does not
decay. Its chemical formula is
Be₃Al₂SiO₆ → Minerals
Chlorophyll is produced in plants
during photosynthesis → Non minerals
Explanation:
Minerals are natural occurring crystalline substances that has a definite chemical formula . Minerals are usually solid in nature and are inorganic . Minerals contains no plant or animals.
Calcium is homogeneous because it contains only 1 substance. Calcium is regarded as a mineral because it is natural occurring and has a definite chemical formula and solid. The earth crust contains abundant of calcium.
Glycerin is not a solid . The source is from plant which makes it organic. Glycerin is a non mineral because it is liquid and organic in nature.
Emerald is a mineral . Emerald has a definite chemical formula and it is natural occurring , crystalline ,solid and inorganic in nature.
Chlorophyll is a substance produce in plants during photosynthesis . chlorophyll is organic because it is produce in plants . Therefore chlorophyll is not a mineral.
