Sulfate minerals contain the ion SO42- and generally have a vitreous to dull luster.
Sulfide minerals contain the ion S2- and tend to have a metallic luster.
Sulfate minerals include the SO42− anion in their chemical makeup, and they are often deposited hydrothermally, by evaporation, or by oxidation of sulfide minerals.
Sulfide minerals contain the S2- anion in their chemical makeup. Combining with a wide range of metals like iron, nickel, copper, lead and antimony, the sulfides form an economically important class of metal ores.

How are sulfide and sulfate mineral same?
They both have the element sulfur.
Is sodium sulfate and sodium sulfide the same?
No. Sodium sulfate has the formula Na2SO4, but sodium sulfide has the formula Na2S and substantially different chemical properties from those of sodium sulfate.
What is the difference between sodium sulfide and sodium sulfate?
Sodium sulfate is Na2SO4. Sodium sulfide is Na2S.
Is sulfate the same as sulfide?
No. The sulfate ion has the formula SO42-, while the sulfide ion has the formula S2-.
What is a mineral sulfate fluorite iodine galena gypsum?
Gypsum, calcium sulfate dihydrate, CaSO4.2H2O. Fluorite is calcium dluoride, CaF2; iodine is an element, galena is lead sulfide, PbS.
What is sulphate and sulfide?
Sulfate is SO42- and the sulfide ion is S2-.
Is sodium sulfide plus copper sulfate equals copper sulfide percipitate?
Yes: If aqueous solutions of copper sulfate and sodium sulfide are mixed, copper sulfide will precipitate from the mixture.
What is sulfide minerals?
A mineral sulfide is a mineral that contains the S2- ion.
All minerals in the sulfate and sulfide groups contain what element?
All minerals in the sulfate and sulfide groups contain sulfur.
What is the chemical difference in ate and ide?
The ions are different: chlorate/chloride, sulfate/sulfide, etc.
What is the difference of aluminum sulfide and aluminum sulfate?
Aluminum Sulfide ==> Al2S3 Aluminum Sulfate ==> Al2(SO4)3 Aluminum sulfide is just aluminum and sulfur, while aluminum sulfate is Aluminum plus Sulfate (Polyatomic ion made of sulfur and oxygen)
Is galena a sulfide sulfate or sulfosalt?
Galena is a lead sulfide - PbS.
