Identify and compare common rock forming minerals, mineral structures and mineral properties. One of the related fields of geology is mineralogy: the study of minerals. Geologists rely on minerals for many reasons. Not only are some minerals considered resources we use, such as gypsum, but they are the basis for the formation of rocks.

Minerals form as a result of chemical reactions. Chemical reactions are driven mainly by the arrangement and re-arrangement of electrons in atoms. In a mineral, the atoms are held together by chemical bonds, which derive from the electrons. Electrons can be thought of as occupying energy levels, or shells, in an atom.
