Since glass is basically silicon dioxide (SiO2), usually known as silica, both elements (silicon and oxygen) are found in the earth's crust.
Glass also usually contains Calcium Oxide (CaO) and Sodium Oxide (Na2O) in significant proportions.
That would be silicon, or SiO2
silicon.
Si - silicon.
Silicon, in the form of silica (quartz) and composed of silicon dioxide or SiO2.
No, boron is a naturally occurring element in the Earth's crust. It is commonly found in compounds such as borax and boric acid, and it is used in various industries including agriculture, glass manufacturing, and nuclear technology.
Yes. Cerium is the element they use to make silver, and flint in cigarettes or gas lighters.

Brick, steel, and glass are not classified as minerals because they are man-made, processed materials that do not occur naturally in the Earth's crust in their current form. While they may be made from substances found in the Earth's crust (such as clay for brick, iron ore for steel, and silica for glass), the way these materials are extracted, refined, and processed alters their mineral composition. Minerals are naturally occurring inorganic solids with a specific chemical composition and crystal structure.
