There are 6 non-metals: carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, phosphorus, sulfur, and selenium. Nitrogen and oxygen are colorless gasses at room temp. Frozen oxygen is bluish though red crystals and a metallic structure form at extreme cold combined with high pressure. Frozen nitrogen is colorless, and so are the crystals.
Carbon is a black solid at room temp; graphite (carbon) is silvery dark grey; diamond (carbon) is colorless.
Phosphorus is a solid at room temp and has three allotropes: white (yellowish white in color), red (red to orange) and black (violet to black).
Sulfur is pale yellow to yellow and crystals are yellow, although it has one allotrope which is reddish orange.
Selenium, a solid at room temp, is black or red and crystals are grey or red.

Diamond is not a common nonmetallic mineral. It is a valuable and durable mineral that is widely used in jewelry and industrial applications, but it is not as abundant as more common nonmetallic minerals such as quartz, feldspar, or clay minerals.
Limestone is a nonmetallic mineral. It is a sedimentary rock primarily composed of calcium carbonate, which is a chemical compound with a nonmetallic element (calcium) and a nonmetallic element (carbon) bonded together. Metallic minerals, on the other hand, are composed of metals or have metallic properties. Limestone does not fall into this category.
True. The luster of a mineral is described as either metallic or nonmetallic. Metallic luster reflects light like metal, while nonmetallic luster can vary from glassy to earthy in appearance.
Magnatite is the mineral that has a nonmatallic luster, is black, and can be scratched by a fingernail.
The mineral that is nonmetallic and has a silky luster is serpentine. Serpentine is a group of minerals that are typically green in color and have a silky or waxy sheen on its surface. It is commonly found in metamorphic rocks.
what are two uses of nonmetallic mineral resources
no
Wood

Wood is a nonmetallic mineral resource. Coal, iron, and aggregate are metallic mineral resources.
a metallic mineral and nonmetallic mineral thankz ^^
No, wood is not considered a nonmetallic mineral resource. Wood is derived from trees, which are living organisms and not classified as minerals. Nonmetallic mineral resources include materials like sand, gravel, limestone, and gypsum.
Limestone is a nonmetallic mineral. It is a sedimentary rock primarily composed of calcium carbonate, which is a chemical compound with a nonmetallic element (calcium) and a nonmetallic element (carbon) bonded together. Metallic minerals, on the other hand, are composed of metals or have metallic properties. Limestone does not fall into this category.
Sulfur is nonmetallic
The mineral you are referring to is likely magnetite. Magnetite is a black mineral with a nonmetallic luster, often appearing metallic or glassy. It is a common iron oxide mineral found in a variety of geological settings.
No, it is not a mineral of any kind.
yes think so
