galena
yes
Galena, lead sulfide, is a mineral, not a rock.
Iron pyrite, a mineral composed of iron sulfide, FeS, is called fool's gold because it has the appearance (but no other properties) of gold.
A mineral containing two or more metals is known as a polymetallic mineral. These minerals can be important sources of multiple metals, such as copper, lead, zinc, and silver, often found in ores like galena (lead sulfide) or sphalerite (zinc sulfide). Polymetallic deposits are valuable for mining as they allow for the extraction of several metals simultaneously, improving economic efficiency.
Chalcopyrite is a copper iron sulfide mineral with the chemical formula CuFeS₂. It is the most important copper ore and is characterized by its brassy yellow color and metallic luster. Chalcopyrite commonly forms in hydrothermal veins and is often associated with other sulfide minerals. Its primary use is in the extraction of copper for various industrial applications.
A mineral sulfide is a mineral that contains the S2- ion.
For example the mercury sulfide (HgS) - cinnabar.
Galena is in the sulfide group of minerals.
No. It is a sulfide.
Chalcopyrite is in the sulfide mineral group.
yes
No. It is a sulfide.
No, hydrogen sulfide is NOT minable, because it is gaseous, not mineral.
No, iodine is not a mineral sulfide. Iodine is a chemical element and essential nutrient that is commonly found in seawater and some minerals. Sulfides are a group of minerals that contain sulfur combined with another element or elements, but iodine is not classified as a mineral sulfide.
No, galena is not a mineral oxide. It is a sulfide mineral composed of lead and sulfur. Oxides are minerals that are composed of oxygen combined with a metal or other element.
Copper(I) oxide - Cu2O - is the mineral cuprite.Copper(I) chloride - CuCl - is the mineral nantokite.Copper(I) sulfide - Cu2S - is the mineral chalcocite.
Cinnabar is a non-silicate. It is mercury(II) sulfide HgS.
