Bohr founded the Institute of Theoretical Physics at the University of Copenhagen, now known as the Niels Bohr Institute, which opened in 1920. Bohr mentored and collaborated with physicists including Hans Kramers, Oskar Klein, George de Hevesy and Werner Heisenberg.
mineral. n. 1. (Minerals) any of a class of naturally occurring solid inorganic substances with a characteristic crystalline form and a homogeneous chemical composition.2. any inorganic matter.3. (Mining & Quarrying) any substance obtained by mining, esp a metal ore.4. (Cookery) (often plural) Brit short for mineral water.oun. 1. mineral-solid homogeneous inorganic substances occurring in nature having a definite chemical composition. material, stuff-the tangible substance that goes into the makeup of a physical object; coal is a hard black material; wheat is the stuff they use to make bread.
Minerals are naturally occurring chemical compounds that have a solid, crystalline structure, meaning they're arranged in unique geometric patterns at the atomic level. Minerals are also inorganic; they're not formed from amino acids, peptides, or enzymes, as living things are.inerals grouped together form rocks; the combination of minerals determines the type of rock formed. Since minerals are pure, they can all be written as a single chemical formula. A mineral can also contain some impurities and still retain its name, as long as the majority of the solid is a single mineral.
