∙ 14y ago
Metallic minerals are composed primarily of metallic elements and have a metallic luster and other properties, such as the ability to conduct electricity. Non-metallic minerals do not have these characteristics.

What is the difference between a primary diagnostic and a special property of a mineral?
A primary property is one that all minerals possess, whereas a special property is found in only one or a few minerals.
What is the difference between disintegration and decomposition of rock?
Disintegration is fragmentation of rock and there is no chemical change during or after this process. Decomposition is resulting in the destruction of some or all of the unstable minerals and thus chemical change occur and new minerals are formed.
What is the difference between iron and iron pyrite?
Iron is composed only of the element Fe (iron). Iron pyrite (most correctly referred to as pyrite) is a mineral composed of Fe and S (sulfur).

What is the difference between non metallic and metallic variants of Alto K10 and why is the cost difference?
Metallic paint gives extra shining and rich effect to the car. Where as nonmetallic or solid paint, if polished will give glazing effect.
What compound is formed between metallic and nonmetallic atoms?
silicone
What are the differences between metallic and non-metallic minerals?
Metallic minerals have a significant metallic elemental composition, resulting in a set of physical properties that are specific to them such as conductivity and metallic luster. Non-metallic minerals do not possess significant elemental metallic composition of exhibit those physical properties.
What is the difference between metallic and non metallic oxides?

What is the difference between purple and METALLIC blue?
purple is warmer
When electrons are transfered between the atoms of metallic and nonmetallic elements what kind of bonds are formed?
When a metallic atom and a nonmetallic atom have an electron transfer to form an ion, this is known as an ionic compound. For example, salt (NaCl) an electron transfer occurs. The Na, which has 1 electron on its valence shell ( outer shell) and the Cl, which has 7 electrons on its valence shell. The Na transfers its one electron to the Cl. This therefore results in the Cl having a full valence shell; at this point Cl is negative and Na is positive. We can then conclude the NaCl is an ionic compound.

What has both metallic and nonmetallic preperties?
It seems like you are asking what something is that has both metallic and nonmetallic properties? If so, these elements are called metalloids, and they are located in a stairstep pattern on a periodic table, toward the right side of the table, between the metals and nonmetals.
What is the difference in composition between most minerals and a pure element?

Is antimony metallic or nonmetallic?
Antimony is a metalloid which means that it has metallic and nonmetallic properties and it is element 51 in the periodic table lying in the diagonal metalloids in the p group. The metallic and nonmetallic properties may be, for example, that it is grey and shiny like a metal but it may also be brittle and not conduct heat and electricity like a nonmetal.
