If particles of matter gain or lose enough kinetic energy what can happen? A. They can gain or lose electrons.
B. None of these
C. They can change phase.
D. They can gain or lose potential energy.

B

When a sample of solid, liquid, or gas matter heats up, it expands. When matter gets hot, its particles gain kinetic energy. The increased kinetic energy pushes the particles farther apart. This causes the matter to expand.

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).
