What are atoms? ATOMS = BUILDING BLOCKS of everything in the Universe.

What is an element? A substance that cannot be broken down into simpler things. Examples: Gold, silver, aluminum

What is a compound? A substance made of more than one element Examples: Water, table salt

5 Characteristics of Minerals 1. Naturally occurring 2. Inorganic =not from a living thing

45 seconds to Discuss… What does it mean to be “naturally occurring?” What does it mean to be “inorganic?”

Pyrite in rock 3. Solid 4. Crystal Structure – particles line up in a pattern

45 seconds to Discuss… What does it mean to be “solid?” What does it mean to have a “crystal structure?”

Examples of solid, crystal structure Rhodochrosite

A mineral… 5. Definite Chemical Composition Ex.) Water = H 2 O Salt = NaCl

An example of: definite chemical composition Calcite— has the chemical name-- CaCO 3 Ca=Calcium (as in your bones) C=Carbon (in all living things) O= Oxygen (in the air)

60 seconds to Discuss… What do we mean by “chemical composition?” So then what does it mean to have a “definite chemical composition?”

What are the two groups of Minerals? Silicate Minerals –chemical composition with a combination of Silicon and Oxygen Quartz = SiO 2

Nonsilicate Minerals –Do NOT contain a combination of silicon and oxygen.  Fluorite = CaF 2

45 seconds to Discuss… How are Silicate Minerals and Nonsilicate Minerals different?

Oxygen Silicon Aluminum Magnesium Iron Sodium Calcium Potassium What’s in these minerals/rocks that look so delicious?
