MINERALS
IRON
Properties
It is backbone of modern civilization
It is used for manufacturing machines ,automobiles, rail tracks , electric poles , constructing buildings , bridges , ship-buildings , weapons , agriculture implements and articles of general use.
It is a lustrous, ductile, malleable, silver-grey in color
It is much softer in nature
Magnets can be made of this metal and its alloys and compounds.
It is used to manufacture steel and also used in civil engineering like reinforced concrete, girders etc.
Magnets can be made of this metal and its alloys and compounds.
Magnets can be made of this metal and its alloys and compounds.
Distribution of iron ore is uneven the main countries are Australia, Russia , Brazil ,China, India ,Ukraine , Canada and Sweden.
COPPER
PROPERTIES
Copper is a good conductor of electricity .
It is widely used in many electric products like wireless systems, electric motors , radio , telephone , electric wires , refrigerators
It is also corrosion-resistant
It’s very malleable and ductile
The tensile strength is also very good.
The malleability of copper is another reason why it is preferred for the production of wires.
.
It can also be easily soldered
it is mainly found in China, Australia, Peru, Mexico, USA, Chile, Russia, Congo, Canada and Zambia
BAUXITE
Poperties
It is used in the manufacturing of electric wires , aeroplanes , spare parts of vehicles , pipes , construction of escalators, window frames , utensils and other househiod work.
Guinea , Australia , Brazil , Vietnam and Jamaica have large reserves of Bauxite
It also occurs in Indonesia , Guyana, China , India , Suriname , Russia and Kazakasthan.
MAGNESE
Properties
Manganese is more reactive when available in pure form, and as a powder, it will burn in oxygen to react with water and dissolves in dilute acids.
Manganese is used as a black-brown pigment in paint
It tarnished on exposure to air and oxidized to manganese when heated
The main reserves of this ore are in Odisha, Karnataka ,Madhya Pradesh , Maharashtra and Andhra Pradesh
Manganese is a grey-white, hard and very brittle metal
Manganese is more reactive when available in pure form, and as a powder, it will burn in oxygen to react with water and dissolves in dilute acids.
It is also used in dry cell batteries
