Is quartz igneous?
Theoretically yes, though any given sample of quartz may contain inclusions (non-quartz stuff trapped inside) making it heterogeneous.
What mineral is glass Windows made up of?
The basic idea is that glass is made out of heated sand, which is silicon dioxide and the key part of that is the silicon.Chemicals for making common glass are Silica (silicon dioxide, the glassy part), and Sodium Carbonate (Soda Ash), lowers the melting point.
What dose the acid test tell you about a mineral?
The acid tells you wether or not te mineral contains lime. Drip any (strong) acid onto the mineral, and if it starts bubbling, the mineral contains lime. It's often used by people who have a fishtank, as rocks which contain lime are bad for most freshwater fish.
Why is porcelain different from other types of pottery?
Well porcelain is made from a very fine white clay called china clay or kaolinite. 1400°C is used when firing it. However, many modern ceramic materials are not made from clay, instead they are produced from silicon and zirconium compounds, zirconia (ZrO ) or silicon nitride (Si3N4)I really hope that helps ;)
Why is the texture of obsidian is best contain few or no minerals grains?
Obsidian cools so quickly the mineral grains do not have time to form.
In addition to silicon and oxygen silicon mineral usually contain?
Other elements
What is a mineral that does not contain compounds of silicon and oxygen?
dimond
Do non silicate minerals contain silicon?
Most likely not. Silicate minerals contain silicon in combination with oxygen. However, silicon itself is considered a non-silicate mineral, composed entirely of the element silicon; without the oxygen, however, it IS a non-silicate mineral.
A silicate mineral must contain?
It must contain silicon and oxygen.. Sammantha G.
What mineral group if any contain silicon carbonates halides or sulfides?
no
What groups if any contain silicon carbonates halides or sulfides?
no
A mineral that contains a combination of silicon and oxygen and that may also contain one or more metals?
Silicate Mineral
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 mineral groups does oxygen and silicon form?
Silicates Minerals. Eg. Quartz (SiO2).
What must contain a silicate mineral?
Silicate is literally Silicon and Oxygen. To be a silicate, therefore, a mineral must contain SiO2. The classic Silicate is Quartz, which is pure SiO2.
What element do all silicates minerals contain?
The two elements that must be present in a silicate are silicon and oxygen.
What type of mineral does not contain a combination of silicon and oxygen?
Nonsilicate minerals, like Galena (formula: PbS)
