Minerals: Building Blocks of Rocks ~Chapter 5~ ^_^ Minerals: the building blocks of rocks Definition of a mineral • • • • Natural Inorganic Solid Possess an orderly internal structure of atoms • Have a definite chemical composition Composition and structure of minerals Atoms • Smallest particles of matter • Elements • Basic building blocks of minerals • Over 100 are known Periodic table of the Elements How atoms are constructed Nucleus – central part of an atom that contains • • • Protons – positive electrical charges Neutrons – neutral electrical charges Have all the characteristics of an elements Energy levels, or shells • Surround nucleus • Contain electrons – negative electrical charges Simplified view of the atom How atoms are constructed Atomic number is the number of protons in an atom's nucleus Bonding of atoms • Forms a compound with two or more elements • Ions are atoms that gain or lose electrons Isotopes • Have varying number of neutrons How atoms are constructed Isotopes • Have different mass numbers – the sum of the neutrons plus protons • Many isotopes are radioactive and emit energy and particles Minerals  Physical properties of minerals         Crystal form Luster Color Streak Hardness Cleavage Fracture Other properties (taste, smell, elasticity, malleability, feel, magnetism, double refraction) Crystal Form Double Refraction QuickTime™ and a decompressor are needed to see this picture IDENTIFY IT!
