Most of the rocks contain Silicates as the basic material, silicates are anions containing Silicon and oxygen and in combination with metallic cations mostly Calcium and Magnesium.
There are hundreds, I've added a link.
A rock is a combination of minerals, each of which, in turn, is a chemical compound.
Shale is a rock not a chemical compound.
Yes. It forms when calcite that is dissolved in lakes, seas or underground water comes out of a solution and forms crystals (precipitation). Certain limestones are also considered bioclastic sedimentary rock, as they are formed primarily of shell fragments or skeletons of marine organisms.
sodium chloride, NaCl
These minerals are called evaporites.
Chemical Rock
An igneous rock is any crystalline or glassy rock that forms from cooling of a magma. Color and texture help determine the chemical composition of the rock.
Halite and Gypsum, they are called Evaporites and are both rocks and minerals
Yes, when lava cools and solidifies, it forms igneous rock. The type of rock that forms depends on the chemical composition of the lava and the rate at which it cools.
Clastic sedimentary rock forms when fragments of preexisting rocks are compacted or cemented together. Organic sedimentary rock forms from the remains of plants or animals. Chemical sedimentary rock forms when minerals precipitate from a solution or settle from a suspension.
Rock is not a compound or an element. Rocks are made up of minerals, which are compounds or mixtures of elements. Minerals are naturally occurring inorganic substances with a specific chemical composition and atomic structure.
