No, galena is a mineral composed of lead and sulfur. It does not contain iron or oxygen.
No, galena is not the common ore of iron. The common ore of iron is hematite, which is a mineral form of iron(III) oxide (Fe2O3). Galena is actually a mineral form of lead sulfide (PbS).
Pyrite is an iron sulfide mineral, while galena is a lead sulfide mineral. Both minerals are classified as sulfide minerals, which are metallic in nature due to the presence of metallic elements like iron in pyrite and lead in galena.
Iron is the transition metal that rusts when exposed to oxygen, forming iron oxide.

oxygen reacts with iron and forms rust Oxygen reacts with iron to form iron oxide.
No. Galena is lead sulfide.

i think it does.
Galena contains 86% Lead. Usually Galena contains some Sulphur and except for the central Unites States deposits usually varying amounts of Silver. No iron however.
Pyrite is an iron sulfide mineral, while galena is a lead sulfide mineral. Both minerals are classified as sulfide minerals, which are metallic in nature due to the presence of metallic elements like iron in pyrite and lead in galena.
Iron and nickel compose the inner core.
outer core compose molten iron and nickel
Galena is primarily made up of lead (PbS) and iron. The percent composition of lead (Pb) in galena is typically around 86.6%, while the percent composition of iron (Fe) is very low, usually less than 1%.
No, galena is not a mineral oxide. It is a sulfide mineral composed of lead and sulfur. Oxides are minerals that are composed of oxygen combined with a metal or other element.

Do you mean 'metal'? If so most are usually processed from mined or quarried ores, compounds of the metal elemant with oxygen and/or other elements. For example: Iron ore is an iron-oxide. Lead ore is usually galena: lead sulphide.
The oceanic crust is composed mainly of basalt, rich in iron and magnesium. The continental crust is composed mainly of granite, rich in aluminum. Although they are both rich in oxygen and silicon, the rocks that compose the oceanic crust are of higher density than the rocks that compose the continental crust.
