WHAT DOES MINERAL MEAN IN PORTUGUESE?

Mineral

Mineral

Mineral is a solid, crystalline natural body formed as a result of the interaction of physicochemical processes in geological environments. Each mineral is classified and denominated not only based on its chemical composition, but also on the crystalline structure of the materials that compose it. As a result of this distinction, materials with the same chemical composition may constitute wholly distinct minerals as a result of mere structural differences in the way their atoms or molecules are arranged spatially. The minerals vary in composition from pure or almost pure chemical elements and simple salts to complex silicates in thousands of known ways. Although in the strict sense petroleum, natural gas and other organic compounds formed in geological environments are minerals, generally most of the organic compounds are excluded. Also excluded are substances, even if identical in composition and structure to some mineral, produced by human activity. The study of minerals is the object of mineralogy.

Mineral é um corpo natural sólido e cristalino formado em resultado da interacção de processos físico-químicos em ambientes geológicos. Cada mineral é classificado e denominado não apenas com base na sua composição química, mas também na estrutura cristalina dos materiais que o compõem. Em resultado dessa distinção, materiais com a mesma composição química podem constituir minerais totalmente distintos em resultado de meras diferenças estruturais na forma como os seus átomos ou moléculas se arranjam espacialmente. Os minerais variam na sua composição desde elementos químicos, em estado puro ou quase puro, e sais simples a silicatos complexos com milhares de formas conhecidas. Embora em sentido estrito o petróleo, o gás natural e outros compostos orgânicos formados em ambientes geológicos sejam minerais, geralmente a maioria dos compostos orgânicos é excluída. Também são excluídas as substâncias, mesmo que idênticas em composição e estrutura a algum mineral, produzidas pela actividade humana. O estudo dos minerais constitui o objecto da mineralogia.
