No, Sulphur is a gaseous element, commonly found as S8.
Sulphate is a polyatomic ion (compound containing multiple elements with a charge on it) containing sulphur and oxygen, written as SO4-2

∙ 12y agoThe two minerals both are made of sulfur. They also are formed in humid climates.

∙ 10y ago- they both are similar cause they have the element sulfur but sulfide is used in batteries and machines while sulfates are used in paste and makeup

∙ 9y agoBoth are similar in that they both contain the element sulfur.

What element is in all sulfides and sulfates?
sulphur
What Compares and contrasts sulfates and sulfides?
Sulfate and sulfide are the same because they both need the element sulfur. they are diffrent because sulfide is used to make batteries, medicines, and electronic parts,while sulfates are used in cement, paint, cosemetic tooth pastes and stuff. P.S. this is a 6th grade compare and contrast. use only if needed.it is correct though.we have test and a got 100%. ^_^
Halides oxides sulfates sulfides carbonates and native elements are what kind of mineral?
non-silicate
How do sulfates function in the environment?
Sulfates of sodium, potassium and magnesium are all water-soluble, while the sulfates of calcium, barium and heavy metals are not. Dissolved sulfates can be reduced to sulfides, which volatilize into the air as hydrogen sulfide, or are precipitated as an insoluble salt or incorporated into vivants.
What are the most common mineral groups?
The most common mineral groups are: silicates, carbonates, sulfates, sulfides, halides, and oxides.
True or false sulfates and sulfides are types of nonsilicate minerals?
True, if they are not sulfates or sulfides of Silicone.
What is found in sulfates that is not in sulfides?
Oxygen
What element does sulfates and sulfides contain?
Sulfur.
What element is in all sulfides and sulfates?
sulphur
What is a sign of sulfate?
•Flow through sulfur-rich regions • •Sulfides • •Sulfates
What Compares and contrasts sulfates and sulfides?

Where is sulfur located?
Sulfur exist as native element or as minerals containing sulfides or sulfates.
Halides oxides sulfates sulfides carbonates and native elements are what kind of mineral?
non-silicate
What are six major classes of nonsilicate minerals.?
Sulfides, sulfates, carbonates, halides, phosphates, and hydroxides.
How do sulfates function in the environment?
Sulfates of sodium, potassium and magnesium are all water-soluble, while the sulfates of calcium, barium and heavy metals are not. Dissolved sulfates can be reduced to sulfides, which volatilize into the air as hydrogen sulfide, or are precipitated as an insoluble salt or incorporated into vivants.
What are different types of minerals that are obtained from rocks?
Elemental metals, sulfates, sulfides, carbonates, halides, silicates.
Are sulfates and sulfides types of nonsilicate minerals?
Gypsum is not a silicate it is a sulfate. Gypsum is a very soft mineral composed of calcium sulfate dihydrate, with the chemical formula CaSO4·2H2O
