What mineral group do oxygen and silicon elements form?
The silicate group.
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
What group includes minerals with the silicon oxygen stretcher?
There is one group that silicon and oxygen fall into. Silicate is the name of the group that both fall under.
What mineral contains oxygen and silicon is soft and shiny and separates easily into sheets?
Biotite is one of the mica group of silicate minerals.
Is the largest mineral group called the native elements?
No. Silicates are the largest mineral group.
What mineral group do oxygen and silicon elements form?
The silicate group.
What are the two most abundant elements in earths crust and what mineral group do these elements form?
oxygen and silicon they form silicates, i think
What is sillicates?
Is a member of the mineral group that has silicon and oxygen in it's chemical compound.
Silicon and oxygen combine to form the framework of the most common mineral group?
Silicon and oxygen combine to form the most abundant mineral group, the silicates.
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
The most common mineral group is broken into the subgroups of ferromagnesium and nonferromagnesium?
its silicate
What mineral groups contain silicon?
These elements are part of the makeup of 99% of all minerals on Earth.
What are the 6 mineral groups?
Halides - contain halogens (group 17 of the periodic table) Sulfides - contain sulfer Carbonates - contain carbon, oxygen, and one other element Silicates - contain silicon and oxygen Oxides - contain oxygen and one other element Native elements - are pure elements There are others but these are the 6 major groups.
What group includes minerals with the silicon oxygen stretcher?
There is one group that silicon and oxygen fall into. Silicate is the name of the group that both fall under.
Contrast the composition of minerals in each of the mineral groups?
silicates- silicon and oxygen carbonates- carbon, oxygen, and 1 or more other elements oxides- oxygen and 1 or more other elements( usually metal) sufates/sulfides- contain sulfur halides- halogen ion and 1 or more other elements native elements- group of minerals that exists in relatively pure form( ex: gold, silver, copper, sulfer, carbon...)
What mineral contains oxygen and silicon is soft and shiny and separates easily into sheets?
Biotite is one of the mica group of silicate minerals.
Minerals with the silicon-oxygen structure are classified into what group?
They are in the silicate group.
