Every mineral has a certain chemical composition. Under certain physicochemical conditions, the individual components of minerals like atoms, ions, or groups of molecules are in a dynamic equilibrium and interact with each other by chemical bonds. The kind and strength of the interaction forces are fundamentally related to the type of bonding, which in turn determines the physicochemical properties of the minerals. When minerals interact with external surroundings such as air, water, and various solutions in an open system, successive chemical reactions, including oxidation, dissolution, and decomposition, will occur, thereby exhibiting certain chemical properties. Since the minerals exhibit different chemical compositions and bonds with each other, their chemical properties are often various. It is precisely because of their diversity and complexity that the chemical properties and differences of minerals are of great significance for their application.

摘要

Every mineral has a certain chemical composition. Under certain physicochemical conditions, the individual components of minerals like atoms, ions, or groups of molecules are in a dynamic equilibrium and interact with each other by chemical bonds. The kind and strength of the interaction forces are fundamentally related to the type of bonding, which in turn determines the physicochemical properties of the minerals. When minerals interact with external surroundings such as air, water, and various solutions in an open system, successive chemical reactions, including oxidation, dissolution, and decomposition, will occur, thereby exhibiting certain chemical properties. Since the minerals exhibit different chemical compositions and bonds with each other, their chemical properties are often various. It is precisely because of their diversity and complexity that the chemical properties and differences of minerals are of great significance for their application.
