Chemical properties of mineral

Chemical properties of mineral
Atoms,Molecules and Elements
Every substance on earth are made of up atoms.There are many different kinds of atoms are found and are classifief as Elements.Atoms are formed together on the basis of their charges that is positive charge and negative charge.In positive charge is caused by the amounts of Protons and Electrons is caused by Electrons.

Molecules are joined together to form a substance.Different atoms are formed together to be molecules.Molecules is a combination of two atoms of different elements.Molecules form mixtures and compounds.Every mineral contains specific molecules in its structure.Most of the minerals are composed of molecules.

Elements are the substances having only one type of atoms and cannot be broken down.They are the simplest forms of matter and has a specific atomic number. They cannnot be changed or divided into different forms or substance by ordinary chemical method.The smallest particle of such an element is an atom, which consists of electrons centered around a nucleus of protons and neutrons.
