MINERALS
SULFIDES
contain sulfide ions, bonded with iron, lead, zinc,& copper
metallic luster, can occur as well-formed crystals, irregular masses
Zinc Sulfide mineral
-
household use and economic use- common base for GOLD, SILVER, & PLATNUM, used by industry as ore metals
OXIDES
consists of oxygen bonded with iron, titanium, aluminum, & other rentals
-
hematite (comon when iron bearing minerals are oxide
-
House hold use- ICE
Economic use- thermal and electrical conductor, used commonly in the steel industry
SULFATES
-
-
form when water evaporates, in shallow areas
sulfate mineral composed of calcium
smooth and translucent, hardness is average, contain high density
-
HALIDES
mainly salts, salty taste
consist of metallic elements such as: sodium or potassium, and a halide element (chlorine)
cubic cleavage, relatively low hardness, carry low negative charge
-
-
CARBONATES
-
-
calcium magnesium mineral
-
-
SILICATES
common in upper continental crust, light colored silicate minerals are present in smaller rocks of the oceanic crust and the mantel
light colored- white, light grey, light pink, some are reflective and silvery/grey
dark color (high in magnesium and iron)- found in igneous and metamorphic rocks. form majority of the oceanic crust and mantel
-
-
LARGEST and MOST IMPORTANT group of minerals, hardness is about 5- 5.5
minerals are natural, solid, inorganic, with definite chemical composiiton.
