矿物和元素之间的差异|比较类似术语之间的差异

这关键区别矿物和元素之间矿物是天然发生的，无机化合物可以通过化学过程分解为更简单的结构，而元素是一种无法通过任何普通化学过程转化为更简单结构的物质。

Minerals are complex structures that have a well-organized chemical structure. These are inorganic substances and are naturally occurring compounds. When considering the basic chemical formula of a mineral, it has a combination of several chemical elements in different ratios. A chemical element is a chemical species of atoms having a similar number of protons in the atomic nucleus. But the number of neutrons in the nucleus can be different; we call them isotopes.

什么是矿物？

矿物是一种天然存在的无机固体物质，具有井井有序的化学结构。它也具有特征性的化学成分和物理性能。根据这个定义，自然发生的意思是，矿物不是人为的化合物。无机性意味着它不是生物体的产物。另外，它在标准温度和压力条件下都不发生在液态或气体状态下。

图01：不同的矿物结构

所有矿物质都有明确的化学成分。这意味着自然发生的所有形式的这种矿物具有相同的化学成分，而有限范围的变化很小。此外，这些化合物具有有序的内部结构。矿物质中的原子以重复模式排列。矿物质发生在矿藏中；特定矿物质的天然沉积物，我们可以从中使用现有技术大规模获得矿物质。矿物质的物理特性根据化学元件的形式及其比率彼此不同。

什么是元素？

化学元素或元素是一种我们不能通过化学过程转化为简单形式的物质。这意味着任何现有的化学过程都无法进一步分解化学元件。我们可以将其定义为一组具有相同的原子原子数以及类似或不同的质量数。这些是建立所有问题的基本单位。

图02：化学元素的元素表

Scientists have discovered 118 chemical elements so far. However, around 20% of these elements are not naturally occurring due to the highly reactive nature. There are 11 elements in the gaseous state under ordinary conditions while two are in the liquid state whereas the rest of the elements are solids. Therefore, most of them are in solid state.

矿物和元素有什么区别？

矿物是一种天然存在的无机固体物质，具有井井有序的化学结构。这se are very useful in different industries according to the physical properties. A chemical element or an element is a substance that we cannot convert into a simpler form via chemical processes. But, a mineral can break down into a simpler structure via chemical processes. This is the main difference between mineral and element.

Most of the minerals are naturally occurring substances, but around 20% are not in nature due to the high reactivity. Moreover, minerals are solid substances under ordinary conditions while there are 11 elements in a gas state, 2 in a liquid state, while other elements are in the solid state under ordinary conditions.
