What type of mineral contains oxygen and silicon?
Silicate is the mineral made of silicon and oxygen.
What mineral does oxygen react with?
Europhloctisic
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
Why isn't a tooth considered a mineral?
Oxygen isn't a mineral, It's a gas. Mineral's are like rocks.
What mineral does not contain oxygen?
Diamond is a mineral that does not contain oxygen. It is composed of pure carbon atoms arranged in a crystal lattice structure.
What mineral composed only of oxygen and silicon?
The mineral composed only of oxygen and silicon is silicon dioxide, also known as quartz.
A mineral needed in the body that bonds chemically to oxygen molecules?
the mineral is IRON
Does the ratio of silicon to oxygen remain constant for each silicate mineral?
No, the ratio of silicon to oxygen can vary among different silicate minerals. The overall structure and composition of the mineral will determine the specific ratio of silicon to oxygen present in that mineral.
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?
The mineral made up of only oxygen and silicon is quartz.
What mineral contains silicon and oxygen?
Silicon dioxide, also known as silica, is a mineral that contains silicon and oxygen. It is the most abundant mineral in the Earth's crust and can be found in various forms such as quartz, amethyst, and sand.
