Carbonate minerals contain oxygen and hydrogen?
No. They contain oxygen and carbon. Hence the carbonate.
Most minerals on earths surface contain which of the following?
silicon & oxygen.
If an oxygen atom shared some electrons with another oxygen atom what type of substance would the molecule be?
Element b/c Molecules that contain only atoms of the same type of element are only elements. They are not compounds or mixtures because no other elements are present.
What are examples of carbonation?
Minerals and rocks that contain a molecule that is made of both oxygen and carbon are carbonates. Examples of carbonates include doverite, marble, and limestone.
Do all organic molecules contain carbon?
Yes, carbon is the fourth most abundant element in the universe by mass after hydrogen, helium, and oxygen. It is present in all life forms and the chemical basis of all known life. In the human body carbon is the second most abundant element by mass after oxygen.
What minerals are in oxygen?
Oxygen is an element and, therefore, can contain no minerals (or other elements or compounds). However, many minreals contain oxygen.
What element do silicate minerals contain?
silicon and oxygen
Is it true that both carbonates and oxides are minerals that contain the element oxygen?
yes
What is oxygen called when it is combined with rocks and minerals?
It is called oxidation when rocks and minerals are combined with oxygen. It is chemical weathering.
Oxygen combined with one other element is an?
Oxygen combined with one other element is an oxide.
Minerals that contain sulfur and oxygen?
The minerals that contain sulfur and oxygen is sulfates.
Do all minerals contain oxygen?
No, some do not contain oxygen at all
What do you get when you combine oxygen and and element?
minerals
what is the mineral contain silicon oxygen and usually one or more other other element?
Minerals containing silicon and oxygen are most generally known as silicates.
Which mineral is silicate?
Minerals of sillicon and oxygen combined.
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.
Carbonate minerals contain oxygen and hydrogen?
No. They contain oxygen and carbon. Hence the carbonate.
