Know the Answer?

Nikhil Terry · Answer 1

No water does not pass the test of being a. Solid so it's not considered mineral

Cottonball · Answer 2

No

Explanation:

Water does not pass the test of being a solid so it is not considered a mineral although ice; which is solid, is classified as a mineral as long as it is naturally occurring. Thus ice in a snow bank is a mineral, but ice in an ice cube from a refrigerator is not.
