What do silicate minerals contain?
They all contain the silicon-oxygen tetrahedron.
Light colored silicate minerals all contain what?
Silicon and oxygen.
All silicate minerals contain the elements?
silicon and oxygen apex :p
If all silicates contain silicon and oxygen why are there so many different kinds of silicate minerals?
Silicates contain mostly silicon and oxygen. The different types of silicate also contain other materials, but the base materials are silicate and oxygen
What do all silicate minerals have in common?
feldspars

Silicon and oxygen.
What are compounds the contain carbon as the primary structural atom?
They are classified based on the structure of their silicate group. Silicate minerals all contain silicon and oxygen.

What is the composition of silicates?
Silicate minerals make up 30% of all minerals, and they are minerals which contain both siliconm and oxygen.

What are the SILICATE group of minerals?
Neso-, soro-, cyclo-, ino-, phyllo- and tectosilicates are all the groups of silicate minerals.
What do chalcopyrite hematite magnetite and pyrite have in common?
They are all minerals which contain iron.
What type of minerals are biotite and muscovite?
Generally referred to as micaceous minerals, biotite and muscovite are silicate minerals having perfect basal cleavage. They both contain most of the same elements, just in different quantities. However, biotite is soluble in sulfuric acid and has iron and magnesium in it, where muscovite does not. They can be found in all types of rock.
What rock contains aluminum silicates and other minerals?
Bauxite is the main source of aluminum. Albite is a feldspar mineral and is a sodium aluminum silicate All rocks contain other minerals.
Do all silicate materials contain oxygen and silicon?
Yes; that is implied by the name "silicate".
