Minerals that do not contain silicon?

Sulphates, phosphates, oxides, halides and carbonates are minerals that do not contain silicon.


What groups if any contain silicon carbonates halides or sulfides?

no


Do all carbonates contain silicon and oxygen atoms?

No. Silicates do however.


What mineral group if any contain silicon carbonates halides or sulfides?

Silicates are the mineral group that contain silicon, carbonates are the mineral group that contain carbon, halides are the mineral group that contain halogen elements, and sulfides are the mineral group that contain sulfur. Each of these mineral groups encompasses a variety of minerals with different chemical compositions.


Are carbonates and halides silicate or non silicate?

Carbonates and halides are non-silicate minerals. They do not contain silicon and oxygen tetrahedra as the primary building blocks, unlike silicate minerals. Carbonates are composed of carbon and oxygen atoms, while halides are composed of halogen ions, such as fluoride, chloride, bromide, or iodide.


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.


Does carbonates contain oxygen?

yes


Does carbide and carbonate the same?

Carbonates contain the anion (CO3)-. Ex.: barium carbonate, BaCO3. Carbides are compounds formed from carbon and another element; ex.: silicon carbide, SiC.


What substance does not contain carbonates?

One example of a substance that does not contain carbonates is pure water (H2O). Carbonates are compounds that contain carbon and oxygen bound together with a metal ion, such as calcium carbonate (CaCO3) found in limestone.


What items contain silicon?

Do cliffs contain carbonate?

It depends on what kind of rock they are made of. Cliffs formed of igneous rock generally do not contain carbonates. Cliffs that have some limestone, marble, or dolomite do contain carbonates.
