...and is produced with minerals such as iron and sodium ...

Iron is a mineral 🤨?

IIRC even ice is technically a mineral

Which makes water lava, technically speaking

@Alto @0x4E4F BTW: For astrophysicist every element except Helium and Hydrogen is metal.

@heluecht I just remembered how much I hated chemistry back in the elementary school and highschool. Thanks, haha!

I'm an engineer and I still don't understand chemical equations 🤣.

@0x4E4F that's a bit more reassuring I guess 😂

WTF 🤣🤣🤣, seriously 🤣?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 10 months ago

@0x4E4F Yeah, see the Wikipedia article about "Metallicity".

Go look up mineral in a dictionary... it literally means anything solid that's not "organic".

So yeah iron and sodium (salt) are absolutely minerals and so is ice.

So, minerals are then divided in subcategories, like metals, right?
