Why is oxygen teeth and honey not a mineral?
A mineral must follow a certain criteria. It has to be naturally occurring, generally inorganic homogeneous solid with a crystalline structure and a definite (but not fixed) chemical composition. Water cannot be a mineral because it is a liquid. Honey cannot be a mineral because it is a liquid and is organic Oxygen cannot be a mineral because it is a gas. Teeth cannot be a mineral they are organic. Ice, however, can be a mineral if it is formed naturally. Ice forming on your windshield is a mineral but ice from an ice cube tray is not a mineral.
Is hail a mineral?
No. Hail is ice that falls during a thunderstorm.
Can a mineral become ice?
no minerals cant change to ice becuase it can only freeze outside not inside
Why is water ice considered a mineral?
Ice in a glacier is solid and has a definite chemical structure and water does not because water is liquid.

When is water a mineral?
Water as a solid, in the form of ice, is considered a mineral when it is naturally occurring. Ice in snow banks is considered a mineral but ice cubes you make in your freezer are not a mineral.

Is ice a form of a rock?
Ice is actually a mineral.
Explain why scientists consider ice to be a mineral?
Scientists consider ice to be a mineral because it is found naturally in nature. Ice has certain properties such as density and chemical composition leading it to be identified as a mineral.
Is ice example of a native mineral is?
No. A native mineral is composed of only one element. Ice, the mineral, is composed of two -- hydrogen and oxygen.
Why is the ice in a glacier consider a mineral but the water in a river is not considered a mineral?
Ice in a glacier meets the requirements for being a mineral, because it is natural, homogeneous, solid and crystalline, and has a definite chemical fomula. River water is liquid and therefore also not crystalline, so it is not a mineral. If and when the river water freezes into ice (naturally), that ice is a mineral.

no
Why is ice in a glacier consider to be a mineral but water from a glacier is not?
By definition a mineral must be solid. Ice is solid. Water is not.
What mineral group is ice in?
Ice is in the mineral group known as "native elements." It is composed of the mineral water (H2O) in a solid-state.
