Both are similar in that they both contain the element sulfur.
Mineral groups differ in composition based on the elements they contain and their crystalline structures. For example, silicate minerals contain silicon and oxygen, while sulfide minerals contain sulfur and metal ions. The ratio of elements and the way they are arranged in the crystal lattice determine the unique properties of each mineral group.
Minerals appear in many different ways. Opaque minerals do not allow light to pass through them. Isotropic minerals allow light to pass through it the same way no matter how the mineral is held. Anisotropic minerals reflects light depending up how the grains lay.
They are used to identify the same material. The -ous being the older form of the name. The Manganese Sulfate would be more correct if written as Manganese (II) Sulfate. This indicates the lower oxidation state of the Mn atom which is +2. The term Manganous Sulfate is the older way of identifying the oxidation state. If you see term Manganic in a molecule's name this is referring to the higher oxidation +3 oxidation state. In current usage it would be Manganese (III).
There are a great number of each of these compounds, and the only simple way I can think of to describe, say, oxides is "oxides". The same is true for each of the others; halide minerals have halide ions, and so forth. "Native" is a little different, and probably means "a metal in its elemental form".
Ah, what a lovely compound we have here, friend. That's called gold(III) sulfide, a beautiful combination of gold and sulfur creating a unique and special bond. Keep exploring the wonders of chemistry, and remember, there are no mistakes, just happy little accidents along the way.
One way to separate silicon dioxide and iron sulfide is by using a magnet to separate the iron sulfide, as it is magnetic. Then, you can use a process like flotation or gravity separation to separate the silicon dioxide from the remaining mixture.
The correct name for the compound NH4S2 is ammonium sulfide.
Think of it this way if you have a golf ball and a wiffle ball they are the same size but they don't weight the same. The golf ball weighs more because it has a greater density In a more mathematical sense, density = mass / volume. If both minerals had the same mass, the more dense one must have a smaller volume.
Rocks that feel and look the same likely share similar mineral composition and texture. Minerals present in the rock, as well as the way the rock formed (igneous, sedimentary, metamorphic), contribute to its appearance and feel. Thus, rocks that appear and feel the same are likely to be composed of similar minerals and have undergone similar geological processes.
The usual way would be from the corresponding alcohol.
Okay, let's take the basics: There is no such thing as "copper sulfate baking powder", as it would be poisonous. I can think of no way to relate elemental nickel to the fictitious "copper sulfate baking powder".
Sugar beet is "nutritious" in the same way that pure sugar is - a good source of calories, but relatively devoid of vitamins and minerals.
