Explanation / Answer

Question 1

A mineral's definition itself mandated it to be the following:

is naturally occurring

has an orderly 3D arrangement of atoms

must be a solid

All minerals are naturally occurring and exhibit an orderly geometric spatial arrangement of atoms. Also, there are no liquid minerals. The essential five characteristics of the mineral are the above three and in addition, 'must be inorganic' and 'a limited range of chemical compositions'. Therefore the second statement is wrong. The fourth statement is also wrong because even though most minerals contain atoms of more than one chemical element, it is not mandatory. There are some minerals made up of just one chemical element (they contain only one type of atom). Native copper is made up of copper atoms only.

Question 2

The nucleus is made up of three subparts namely protons, neutrons and electrons. Therefore, the last statement (5th option) is correct.

Question 3

The complete list of options is missing.
