Which element is found in all sulfate minerals but not in sulfide minerals?

Oxygen is found in all sulfate minerals but not in sulfide minerals. Sulfate minerals contain the sulfate ion (SO4)2-, which includes oxygen atoms, while sulfide minerals contain the sulfide ion (S2-), which does not contain any oxygen atoms.

What is the most common element found in composition of minerals?

Oxygen.


Do all minerals contain oxygen?

No, not all minerals contain oxygen. Minerals are chemical compounds formed from different elements, so they can contain a variety of elements besides oxygen, such as carbon, sulfur, or metals like gold or silver. Oxygen is a common element in many minerals, but it is not a requirement for something to be classified as a mineral.


Do a non silicate minerals contain oxygen?

Yes, non-silicate minerals can still contain oxygen. For example, carbonates such as calcite and dolomite are non-silicate minerals that contain oxygen along with carbon and other elements.


Are all minerals made of silicon and oxygen?

No, not all minerals are made of silicon and oxygen. While many minerals do contain silicon and oxygen, there are a wide variety of minerals made up of other elements and combinations of elements. Minerals are defined by their chemical composition and crystal structure, so they can be composed of different elements.

How does oxygen in the atmosphere differ from oxygen in rocks and minerals?

Atmospheric oxygen tends to be elemental oxygen (O2). Oxygen in rocks and minerals is chemically combined with other elements to form compounds called oxides.


Types of minerals that contain oxygen and silicon?

Silicate minerals are a group of minerals that contain oxygen and silicon as their primary constituents. Examples of silicate minerals include quartz, feldspar, mica, and amphibole. These minerals are the most abundant in the Earth's crust.


Are Carbon Hydrogen Nitrogen and Oxygen minerals?

No, carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, and oxygen are not minerals. These elements are the building blocks of minerals, but minerals are compounds formed by the combination of these elements in specific structures and compositions. Minerals are naturally occurring inorganic solids with a crystalline structure.
