What is a mineral ?
a naturally occurring solid that has a define internal
structures and specific chemical composition in a
periodically repeating arrangement of atoms.
eg QUARTZ, EMERALDS, ETC
Mineral :
- naturally forming
- inorganic
- crystalline solid
- known chemical composition
- known physical properties
Quartz is a mineral

Definitions
Element : a substance that cannot be broken down into other substances by
HEAT, COLD OR REACTION WITH OTHER 112 ELEMENTS.
ELEMENTS :
Atom
Rock
IONS
IONS: ELECTRICALLY CHARGED PARTICLE
Cations : form from metals because they have a low Ionization energy & will
readily give up electrons to obtain the electron configuration of a noble gas
Anions : form from non-metals because they have low Electron affinity and
will readily accept electrons to obtain the electron configuration of a noble gas
Electrons are transferred from the Cation to the Anion and the
charged ions attract each other

Electronegativity
Electronegativity is the ability of an atom to attract
toward itself the electrons in a chemical bond.
Electron Affinity - measurable, Cl is highest

CHEMICAL BONDING
BONDING : ATOMS COMBINE TO FORM CHEMICAL COMPOUNDS IN
A VARIETY OF WAYS KNOWN AS BONDING.
TWO FACTORS THAT DETERMINE WHICH ATOMS WILL UNITED WITH OTHERS:
1. EACH ATOM SHOULD ACHIEVE CHEMICAL STABILITY
2. RESULTING COMPOUND SHOULD BE NEUTRAL

COVALENT BONDING
Requires shared electrons
Example: CH4
C: has 4 valence e,
needs 4 more
