Natalie · Answer 1

I believe the answer is D all of the above the reason I say this because minerals do occur naturally and they do have a characteristic internal structure. That is why I believe they have a chemical formula

Katelyn · Answer 2

Answer: option d. all of the above.

Explanation:

A mineral is an element or a inorganic compound that existes in nature as solid cristals; usually combined with other minerals in ores.
