Do Now / Vocab  Mineral Naturally occurring, inorganic solid, with specific chemical composition and crystal structure  Crystal Solid where atoms or ions are arranged in orderly repeating pattern  Cleavage Mineral’s tendency to split along plane of crystal structure where bonds are weakest

Pgs

Objectives 1. Define what a mineral is 2. Explain why minerals have different properties 3. Identify & describe the main properties of minerals 4. Identify the common chemical composition of minerals

1. What is a mineral?  Naturally occurring inorganic solid with definite chemical composition and crystalline structure  Mineralogists study minerals  Characteristics Occur naturally Inorganic Solid Definite chemical composition Crystals: Atoms arranged in orderly repeating pattern

2. Why do minerals to have different physical properties?  Their internal arrangement of atoms

Graphite & diamond

3. What are the main characteristics used to ID minerals? 1. Color 2. Streak 3. Luster 4. Cleavage 5. Fracture 6. Hardness

Color  Poor indicator…WHY? Minerals can be multiple colors Many minerals can be the same color Impurities

Streak  Color of “powder” on streak plate  More reliable than color

Luster  Way mineral shines in light  Metallic or non-metallic (pearly, oily, dull)

Cleavage  The mineral breaks in a predictable pattern because of its arrangement of atoms (weak bonds)

Fracture  The mineral breaks randomly

Hardness  Resistance to being scratched  It is NOT the same as breaking!

How are minerals structured?  Crystal Atoms or ions are arranged in orderly repeating pattern Many different shapes and sizes

Other Characteristics  Magnetic  Taste  Fluorescence  Radioactive  Double refraction

4. What are the most common elements in the Earth’s crust by mass?  ESRT pg 1  Oxygen (46.6%)  Silicon (27.7%)  These two elements combine to form compounds called silicates (SiO 4 )

 They combine in a specific structure called a: silicon-oxygen tetrahedra
