What the most common class of minerals?

The most common class of minerals is the silicate minerals, which make up over 90% of the Earth's crust. Silicate minerals contain silicon and oxygen atoms in their chemical structure, and they form various types of minerals such as quartz, feldspar, and mica.


Do most minerals occur in a pure form?

no, because they have to be treated become pure.


How does the composition of most minerals differ from a pure element?

Minerals are typically composed of a combination of elements, rather than being pure elements. These elements are bonded together in specific arrangements to form the mineral's crystalline structure. This composition gives minerals their distinct physical and chemical properties.


Why do minerals not break down when cooked?

Minerals don't break down when cooked because they are at their most integral form. Only at extremely high temperatures will minerals break down.


Most silicate minerals form from?

Most silicate minerals form from the crystallization of magma or lava as it cools, allowing silicate ions (SiO₄) to combine with metal cations like aluminum, iron, magnesium, and calcium. They can also form through processes such as metamorphism, where existing rocks are subjected to heat and pressure, or through weathering, where silicate minerals break down and recombine in sedimentary environments. Silicate minerals are the most abundant group of minerals in the Earth's crust, primarily due to the prevalence of silicon and oxygen in the Earth's composition.
