Where are the elements of the earth found?
In the rocks and minerals that make up the Earth.
What element do in a reaction?
What do elements do in a reaction? A: The elements that are present form a chemical bond. This happens because of the fact that the elements that are present to form such combine together to make the chemical bond.
What elements make chalcopyrite?
The chemical formula of chalcopyrite is CuFeS2.
How do you make minerals?
Minerals are pure crystallized compounds. A rock can be a collection of minerals. For example the rock granite is composed of the minerals mica and feldspar. It is all a matter of definitions. In truth geothermal forces are responsible for both minerals and rocks. Minerals are not responsible for rock, the term is merely descriptive.
Do minerals make up elements?

Are all minerals made of one mineral?

What are the composition of minerals?
different parts of the elements form together and make a very soloid solid
What minerals are in ammonia?
Think about what the chemical composition of Ammonia is (NH3) and then you will know the individual elements of the molecule. From that information you can determine the "chemicals" that make up ammonia.
How does two elements make a compound?

What are the basic building blocks of rocks?
There are many different chemicals that make up rocks, and these chemicals are made up of a number of different elements. The most usual elements found in rocks include oxygen, iron, aluminum, silicon, calcium, potassium, sodium, sulphur, nitrogen. In various combinations these form a variety of compounds. Rock is composed of a mineral, or most often, of a combination of minerals. Minerals are inorganic, naturally occurring solids, with a crystalline structure and a fairly definite chemical formula. Examples of minerals would include quartz, pyrite, hematite, magnetite, mica, diamond, corundum, calcite, feldspar, and thousands of others.
How do you get metal out of ores?
Yes, you do because you need 2 or more elements or minerals to make metals and ores are lots and lots of minerals.
