No
The most common element found in orthoclase feldspar but not in plagioclase feldspar is potassium (K). Orthoclase is a potassium-rich feldspar, typically represented by the chemical formula KAlSi3O8. In contrast, plagioclase feldspar is a solid-solution series that primarily consists of sodium (Na) and calcium (Ca) in its composition, lacking potassium.
No, feldspar is not a native element. It is a mineral composed of aluminum silicates, often found in igneous rocks like granite. Native elements are minerals composed of a single element, like gold or silver.
Yes, Granite is composed mainly of quartz and potassium feldspar
Feldspar, the mineral, is not magnetic. Most, but not all, magnetic minerals contain iron.

An example of a mineral that contains more than one element is feldspar, which is a group of rock-forming tectosilicate minerals. Feldspar typically contains a combination of elements such as aluminum, silicon, oxygen, potassium, calcium, and sodium in varying proportions.
Feldspar is a mineral compound, not an element. It is a group of rock-forming tectosilicate minerals that make up about 60% of the Earth's crust. It is composed of aluminum, silica, and other elements like potassium, sodium, or calcium.
