It always contains certain elements,It always contains elements in definite proportions.,It cannot contain atoms from more than one element.

Explanation:

The mineral need not occur always in a pure form.On purification we get the exact chemical composition.

The mineral always has a definite chemical composition which means the number of elements and types of elements in the mineral does not change.

Since the mineral has definite composition,the elements in the mineral has definite proportions.

The mineral can be a compound.So,there can be atoms from more than one element.

Answer from: hahHcjckk

It always contains certain elements.

It always contains elements in definite proportions.

Explanation:

A mineral is a naturally occurring, inorganic solid that has a crystal structure and a definite chemical composition

All the minerals are Naturally occurring i.e. they can not be man made. They are inorganic i.e. it can never come from something living. They occur as Solids i.e they have definite shape and volume. They have Crystal structure i.e they are formed by repeating units. They have definite chemical composition i.e they are made up of certain elements and the elements will always be present in a fixed ratio by mass.

Answer from: Quest

answer: e. sour taste

explanation: acids are those substances which dissociates in water to give $h^+$ ions. as they dissociate to give ions, they act as electrolytes and thus are electrically conductive. acids are sour in taste. example: hcl

$hcl\rightarrow h^++cl^-$

bases are those substances which dissociates in water to give $oh^-$ ions or accepts $h^+$ ions. as they dissociate to give ions, they act as electrolytes and thus are electrically conductive. bases are bitter in taste. bases are slippery in nature.

$naoh\rightarrow na^++oh^-$

$nh_3+h^+\rightarrow nh_4^+$

Answer from: Quest

Aphysical change is one that you can put in and remove like a ham sandwich. the stuff you put in there can be changem its not permanet. a chemical change is on that can't be change thats permanet. like when you make a cake and bake it. you can't get those ingredients back.
