The ability of sodium chloride to dissolve in water is an example of a? chemical property chemical change physical change physical property physical change

salt dissolving in water is usually considered to be a physical change, however the chemical species in salt solution (hydrated sodium and chlorine ions) are different from the species in solid salt.

answer is: naturally occurring solid, inorganic compound or element is mineral.

minerals usually have crystalline form, that means than crystal constituents (atoms, molecules or ions) are arranged in a highly ordered microscopic structure, forming a crystal lattice that extends in all directions.

for example magnetite is a mineral of iron oxide (fe₂o₃).

calcite is a carbonate mineral and the most stable polymorph of calcium carbonate (caco₃).

dolomite is an   carbonate mineral composed of calcium magnesium carbonate (camg(co₃)₂).
