Question

what determines the chemical properties and physical properties of a mineral? the conditions under which the mineral formed the specific gravity of the mineral the arrangement of the minerals atoms the location where it was found

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

The chemical and physical properties of a mineral are determined by its atomic - structure. The arrangement of atoms affects how the mineral reacts chemically and its physical characteristics like hardness, cleavage, etc. Conditions of formation, specific gravity, and location of discovery do not directly determine the fundamental chemical and physical properties in the same way the atomic arrangement does.

Answer:

the arrangement of the mineral's atoms
