Question

Table sugar is not a mineral because?

Answer 1

Answer:

It is not made by a geologic process

Explanation:

A geologic process is a process which occurs dynamically at earth's surface or land forms. For example, volcanic eruption, weathering, erosion etc.

Whereas minerals are the inorganic substances which are homogeneous and occur naturally with a definite shape.

Sugar comes from plants and therefore it an organic compound. Hence it is not a mineral.

A table sugar undergoes a number of refining processes. It is in crystal form and it is made of more than one element which doesn't relate sugar with minerals.

Thus, we can conclude that table sugar is not a mineral because it is not made by a geologic process.

Hope this help
