Iron is a mineral 🤨?
IIRC even ice is technically a mineral
Which makes water lava, technically speaking
Wow 🤣... you guys are fun 🤣.
Wow, you learn something new every day 👍.
@Alto @0x4E4F BTW: For astrophysicist every element except Helium and Hydrogen is metal.
@heluecht I just remembered how much I hated chemistry back in the elementary school and highschool. Thanks, haha!
@Alto @0x4E4F
I'm an engineer and I still don't understand chemical equations 🤣.
@0x4E4F that's a bit more reassuring I guess 😂
WTF 🤣🤣🤣, seriously 🤣?
@0x4E4F Yeah, see the Wikipedia article about "Metallicity".
Go look up mineral in a dictionary... it literally means anything solid that's not "organic".
So yeah iron and sodium (salt) are absolutely minerals and so is ice.
So, minerals are then divided in subcategories, like metals, right?
