Most minerals can be characterized and classified by their unique physical properties: hardness, luster, color, streak, specific gravity, cleavage, fracture, and tenacity.

The three broad categories of elements are metals, nonmetals, and metalloids. Most elements are metals. Nonmetals are located on the righthand side of the periodic table. Metalloids have properties of both metals and nonmetals.

The two kinds of minerals are: macrominerals and trace minerals. Macro means "large" in Greek (and your body needs larger amounts of macrominerals than trace minerals). The macromineral group is made up of calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, sodium, potassium, chloride, and sulfur.

Luster refers to how light is reflected from the surface of a mineral. The two main types of luster are metallic and nonmetallic.

Chemical bonds in minerals are of four types: covalent, ionic, metallic, or Van der Waals, with covalent and ionic bonds most common. Two or more of these bond types can and do coexist in most minerals. Covalent bonds are very strong bonds formed when atoms share electrons with neighboring atoms.

All ores are minerals while all minerals are not ores as some of them might have a large amount of unwanted substances such as sand, stones and earthly impurities. For example: Aluminium occurs in earth's crust in the form of two minerals bauxite and clay.

Terms in this set (31) Explain the relationship between atoms, elements, minerals and rocks: Atoms of elements such as oxygen and silicon will form minerals. Minerals are homogeneous and form from only one compound, rocks form from combinations of minerals.

The macro minerals (those needed in relatively high amounts) include calcium, phosphorus, sodium, potassium, chloride, magnesium, and sulfur. Trace minerals (those needed in relatively small amounts) include cobalt, copper, zinc, selenium, iron, iodine, etc.
