What else can I help you with?
In addition to silicon and oxygen silicate minerals usually contain?
In addition to silicon and oxygen, silicate minerals usually contain other elements such as aluminum, magnesium, iron, or calcium. These elements combine with silicon and oxygen to form various types of silicate structures, giving rise to a wide range of silicate minerals in nature.
What are the most common elements in the Earth's crust?
One is silicon, but I don't know the other:(oxygen
Why are many minerals silicates?
Many minerals are silicates because silicon and oxygen are the two most abundant elements in the Earth's crust. Silicates form when silicon and oxygen combine with other elements such as aluminum, potassium, or magnesium, resulting in a wide variety of mineral compositions and structures. This abundance of silicon and oxygen in the Earth's crust contributes to why silicate minerals are so common.
What are the two most abundant elements in earths crust and what mineral group do these elements form?
oxygen and silicon they form silicates, i think
How does silicon become stable?
Elements get stable only when it completes electron octate in its outermost orbit. Elements make compounds with other elements to gain or reduce electrons to get stability. silicon make bonds with oxygen and make silicon dioxide to get stable.
What other elements combine with silicon besides hydrogen and oxygen?
no none can
Which two elements do oxygen and silicon contain?
Oxygen and Silicon are elements in their own right. They do NOT contain aanything else. However, Silicon and Oxygen can combine to form the molecule 'Silicon Dioxide' ( SiO2 ), of which is sand on the beach is an impure form, mixed with oxides of other elements.
What two principle elements combine to make sand?
Silicon and oxygen
Does lead like to combine with other elements?
Carbon, Geranium, Tin, and Silicon. The reason for this is because all of these elements including Lead, have four valence electrons.
In addition to silicon and oxygen silicate minerals usually contain?
In addition to silicon and oxygen, silicate minerals usually contain other elements such as aluminum, magnesium, iron, or calcium. These elements combine with silicon and oxygen to form various types of silicate structures, giving rise to a wide range of silicate minerals in nature.
Would silicon combine with any other elements?
Yes it combines with many nonmetals such as halogens, oxygen, sulfur etc. Generally form covalent bonds with these elements.
Are iron and silicon chemical compounds?
no both iron and silicon are elements. chemical compounds aretwo or more elements.
What are the most common elements in the Earth's crust?
One is silicon, but I don't know the other:(oxygen
Which two elements are chemically joined together in sand?
Silicon and oxygen are the two elements that you combine to make sand. =]
In addition to silicon and oxygen silicon mineral usually contain?
Other elements
What elements combine with oxygen?
Various elements can combine with oxygen to form compounds, such as metals (e.g., iron, copper), nonmetals (e.g., sulfur, phosphorus), and metalloids (e.g., silicon). These elements can form oxides, peroxides, or other oxygen-containing compounds depending on their reactivity and valence states.
What element makes up the mantle?
The elements of the mantle are silicon, oxygen, iron, and aluminium.
