A mineral is defined as a compound having a fixed chemical composition ... Thus an element is not a mineral.
a compound mineral is a mineral that is made up of more than one element
Native elements are minerals made from just one metal element, such as native gold or native copper. These minerals are composed of a single type of atom and are relatively rare compared to other mineral types.
The word for matter made out of one type of atom is an element. Each element on the periodic table contains only one type of atom.
An element is a substance made of only one kind of atom. Each element has a unique atomic number, which represents the number of protons in its nucleus. Examples of elements include oxygen, gold, and carbon.
The term for matter made of only one type of element is "pure substance," while matter made of only one type of molecule is called a "pure compound."
A mineral that is made up of only one element is called a native element. Examples include gold, silver, and diamond.

Yes, a mineral can be made of one element. For example, diamond is a mineral composed of just carbon atoms arranged in a specific crystal structure.
Diamond is a mineral made up of Carbon.
a compound mineral is a mineral that is made up of more than one element
An element is a pure substance made up of only one type of atom, while a mineral is a naturally occurring inorganic solid with a specific chemical composition and crystal structure.
