Asbestos is a naturally ocurring mineral. Other names are chrysotile, amosite, crocidolite, tremolite, actinolite and anthrophyllite.
Chrysotile and amosite are two kinds of asbestos, the name crystalite sounds a bit like these two but it is actually a plastic (polymethyl methacrylate) and is not a form of asbestos.
Its used in the compressors of refrigerators and air- conditioners
Crocoite is mainly used as a mineral specimen. It used to be used as a minor ore of chromium, but it is now too rare to be used for that.It is on wikipedia too
dilute ethanoic acid is used as a preservative in the preparation of pickles.it is used for making cellulose acetate which is an important artificial fibre.it is used in the manufacture of acetone and esters used in perfumes.it is used in the preparation of dyes.it is used to coaggulate rubber from latex.it is used for making white lead which is used as a white paint.it is used as a chemical reagent in chemistry lab.
An amosite is a form of asbestos, once used in insulation.
Some synonyms of the word "Amosite" is asbestos. Amosite is a heat iron that was used as a heat resistant material due to its composition. One can find more information on the compound from Wikipedia.
The three main kinds of asbestos that have been used commercially are Amosite, Crocidolite, and Anthophilite.
Asbestos is a naturally ocurring mineral. Other names are chrysotile, amosite, crocidolite, tremolite, actinolite and anthrophyllite.
Asbestos is composed of non biodegradable minerals including chrysotile, crocidolite, and amosite. So, Asbestos is non-biodegradable and it is toxic.
Chrysotile asbestos (White) is a Serpentine, Amosite (Grunerite) (Brown asbestos, and Crocidolite (Blue) are Amphiboles
Amosite asbestos is a member of a large group of amphibole minerals. these contain infinite double chain ions where Si and O are covalently bonded (polar bonds), (Si4O11)n6n- . The "counter ions" in this case Fe3+ and usually some Mg2+ are arranged along the chains. A good description is ionic with infinite polyatomic anions.

Asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral, it is formed from: White asbestos (Chrysotile) Mg3(Si2O5)(OH)4, Brown Asbestos (Amosite/Grunerite), Fe7Si8O22(OH)2 Blue Asbestos (Crocidolite), Na2(Fe,Mg)5Si8O22(OH)2

There are a number of forms of asbestos that can be called by a colour, but can also be called by their actual mineralogical or trade name. White asbestos, which is more properly called Chrysotile, was widely used in building products and is the most commonly found type of asbestos in building materials today. However, other types have also been used. Brown asbestos, more widely known by its trade name, Amosite, is the second most commonly found asbestos type in building products.
Chrysotile - White Asbestos = Mg3(Si2O5)(OH)4 Amosite (Grunerite) - Brown asbestos = Fe7Si8O22(OH)2. Crocidolite - Blue asbestos = Na2(Fe,Mg)5Si8O22(OH)2. These are the 3 common types
