Which metal is galena the principal-ore of?
Lead.
What is the mineral is found togeher with lead depositis?
Galena is the main lead bearing mineral.
Is galena used in pencils?
No, we don't use galena is pencils. Galena is the primary ore of the metal lead, and this mineral, PbS, is recovered for that purpose. We also often recover silver as a byproduct of lead processing. It is graphite that is used in pencils, and the mineral graphite is an allotrope of carbon.
What is galena element?
Galena is the natural mineral form of lead(II) sulfide. It is the most important lead ore mineral. Galena deposits often contain significant amounts of silver as included silver sulfidemineral phases or as limited solid solution within the galena structure. These argentiferous galenas have long been the most important ore of silver in mining. In addition zinc, cadmium, antimony, arsenic and bismuth also occur in variable amounts in lead ores. Selenium substitutes for sulfur in the structure constituting a solid solution series. The lead telluride mineral altaite has the same crystal structure as galena. Within theweathering or oxidation zone galena alters to anglesite (lead sulfate) or cerussite (lead carbonate). Galena exposed to acid mine drainage can be oxidized to anglesite by naturally occurring bacteria and archaea, in a process similar to bioleaching.
What colour is the mineral galena?
Galena is a lead gray color. Galena is the natural mineral form of lead sulfide, and an important source of silver.

What is the main mineral of lead?
Galena
What metal is extracted from gelena?
Galena is Lead sulfide. Lead comes from this.
Is lead made out of minerals?
Yes, it is a mineral because it shows up in the periodic table number 207.2
Is there galena in batteries?
Galena is lead sulfide, an important source of the metal lead. Storage batteries, like the one in your car, have lead plate and posts- so it is likely that part of your battery was MADE from galena.
The mineral galena is the chief ore of which metal?
Tire Weights, Fishing Weights, pencils
What is Galena or bauxite?
Galena is a mineral composed of lead sulfide, and the main ore of lead. Bauxite is a rock containing various amounts of aluminum minerals and is the main ore of aluminum.
What is ores galena?
Galena is a mineral composed of lead sulfide, and the main ore of lead. Bauxite is a rock containing various amounts of aluminum minerals and is the main ore of aluminum.
How hard is galena?
Galena has a hardness of 2.5 on the Mohs scale. It has a specific gravity of about 7.4. to 7.6. Galena is main mineral in which lead is found.
What minerals are mined for lead?
The main lead mineral is galena (PbS), which contains 86.6% lead
