Does carbonate contain silicate?
No. A carbonate ion consists of carbon and oxygen. A silicate ion consists of silicon and oxygen.
What 2 elements does silicate contain?
Silicate ions contain silicon and oxygen. Silicate compounds usually contain at least one third element as a cation.
How are carbonate mineral different from silicate minerals?
Carbonate minerals contain carbon and oxygen in the form of the carbonate ion (CO3-), whereas silicate minerals contain silicon and oxygen in the form of various ions containing silicon and oxygen.
What are compounds the contain carbon as the primary structural atom?
They are classified based on the structure of their silicate group. Silicate minerals all contain silicon and oxygen.
Is bauxite silicate or nonsilicate?
Bauxite is nonsilicate because it does not contain a mixture of oxygen and silicon.
If all silicates contain silicon and oxygen why are there so many different kinds of silicate minerals?
Silicates contain mostly silicon and oxygen. The different types of silicate also contain other materials, but the base materials are silicate and oxygen
Types of minerals that contain oxygen and silicon?
Silicate minerals.
A silicate mineral must contain?
It must contain silicon and oxygen.. Sammantha G.
Is gold a silicate?
No gold is not a silicate, because it does no contain oxygen and silicon.
Do non silicate minerals contain silicon?
Most likely not. Silicate minerals contain silicon in combination with oxygen. However, silicon itself is considered a non-silicate mineral, composed entirely of the element silicon; without the oxygen, however, it IS a non-silicate mineral.
What element do silicate minerals contain?
silicon and oxygen
What do all silicate elements contain?
silicon and oxygen

What do silicate minerals contain?
They all contain the silicon-oxygen tetrahedron.
Does carbonate contain silicate?
No. A carbonate ion consists of carbon and oxygen. A silicate ion consists of silicon and oxygen.
What element do all silicates minerals contain?
The two elements that must be present in a silicate are silicon and oxygen.
