Chapter 1 Matter and Minerals
1.1 Multiple-Choice Questions
1) Which of the following best defines the relationship between minerals and rocks?
A) A rock has an orderly, repetitive, geometrical, internal arrangement of minerals; a mineral is a
lithified or consolidated aggregate of rocks.
B) A mineral consists of atoms arranged in a geometrically repetitive structure; in a rock, the
atoms are randomly bonded without any geometric pattern.
C) In a mineral, atoms are bonded in a regular, repetitive, internal structure; a rock is a lithified
or consolidated aggregate of mineral grains.
TU
D) A rock consists of atoms bonded in a regular, geometrically predictable arrangement; a
mineral is a consolidated aggregate of rock particles.
