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.
Halides oxides sulfates sulfides carbonates and native elements are what kind of mineral?
non-silicate
What are the most common mineral groups?
The most common mineral groups are: silicates, carbonates, sulfates, sulfides, halides, and oxides.
What kind of elements are halides oxides sulfates sulfides carbonates and native elements?
What you have listed are not elements (except for the 'native elements'), they are classifications of minerals.
Compare and contrast sulfates and sulfides?
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
What element does sulfates and sulfides contain?
Sulfur.
Where is sulfur located?
Sulfur exist as native element or as minerals containing sulfides or sulfates.
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 is a sign of sulfate?
•Flow through sulfur-rich regions • •Sulfides • •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.
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
What are the most common mineral groups?
The most common mineral groups are: silicates, carbonates, sulfates, sulfides, halides, and oxides.
From what element do sulfates get their name?
Sulfur
