What type of mineral contains only silicon and oxygen?
Quartz
What mineral is made up of only the elements oxygen and silicon?
quartzRock, sand.
Is silica dioxide quartz organic?
No. Silicon dioxide, also called silica or, in mineral form quartz, contains only silicon and oxygen. By definition, and organic compound contains carbon.
Is silicon the second most abundant element in the biosphere?
No. The Earth's Biosphere is composed almost entirely of Carbon, Oxygen and Hydrogen with some Nitrogen, Phosphorus, Sulfur and trace amounts of other elements. However, Silicon is the second most abundant element in the earth's crust - second only to Oxygen.
A mineral composed of only one element is a?
native element
What type of mineral contains only silicon and oxygen?
Quartz
Is a diamond a mineral or a non mineral?
a non silicate mineral because the only element in it is carbon not oxygen or silicon
What mineral is made up of only the elements oxygen and silicon?
quartzRock, sand.
What is a mineral that consists entirely of oxygen and silicon?
The mineral would be classified as a member of the quartz group of tectosilicates such as quartz.Quartz. SiO2.quartz
Is ice example of a native mineral is?
No. A native mineral is composed of only one element. Ice, the mineral, is composed of two -- hydrogen and oxygen.
Is a diamond a silicate or non siliicate mineral?
a non silicate mineral because the only element in it is carbon not oxygen or silicon
What makes up silicon?
silicon is an element and is only composed of silicon
What are minerals that contain oxygen and silicon?
They are classified as silicates, one of the more common being the mineral quartz which is composed only of the elements silicon and oxygen (SiO2). Other silicate minerals may include one or more other elements as well in their chemical formula.
Is silica dioxide quartz organic?
No. Silicon dioxide, also called silica or, in mineral form quartz, contains only silicon and oxygen. By definition, and organic compound contains carbon.
What are the elements present in quartz besides silicon and oxygen?
Quartz is Silicon Oxide (Sicila) and is composed only of SiO2 but may also contain traces of other elements which will give it another colour, but it is still the same mineral. Compare it to the iron cement in 'desert sandstone', which is normally pale yellow, but under these circumstances is red.
Is silicon the second most abundant element in the biosphere?
No. The Earth's Biosphere is composed almost entirely of Carbon, Oxygen and Hydrogen with some Nitrogen, Phosphorus, Sulfur and trace amounts of other elements. However, Silicon is the second most abundant element in the earth's crust - second only to Oxygen.
Does silicon dioxide contain carbon?
Silicon dioxide contains only silicon and oxygen - no carbon., The only carbon in a sample labelled " silicon dioxide", would be an impurity or contaminant probably on the surface
