Metallic minerals are composed primarily of metallic elements and have a metallic luster and other properties, such as the ability to conduct electricity. Non-metallic minerals do not have these characteristics.

What test is best used to distinguish a nonmetallic mineral from a metallic mineral?

One common test to distinguish between nonmetallic and metallic minerals is the streak test. Nonmetallic minerals will typically leave a powder streak of color when rubbed against a white ceramic plate, while metallic minerals will leave a metallic streak.

What compound is formed between metallic and nonmetallic atoms?

An ionic compound is formed between metallic and nonmetallic atoms, where the metallic atom loses electrons to become a positively charged cation, and the nonmetallic atom gains these electrons to become a negatively charged anion. This electrostatic attraction between the oppositely charged ions leads to the formation of the ionic compound.


Is ice metallic or nonmetallic?

Ice is nonmetallic. It is a solid form of water, which is composed of covalent bonds between hydrogen and oxygen atoms. Metals, on the other hand, typically have metallic bonds that allow them to conduct electricity and heat.


What are the differences between metallic and non-metallic minerals?

Metallic minerals have a significant metallic elemental composition, resulting in a set of physical properties that are specific to them such as conductivity and metallic luster. Non-metallic minerals do not possess significant elemental metallic composition of exhibit those physical properties.

What is the difference between purple and METALLIC blue?

The main difference between purple and metallic blue is their color composition. Purple is a mix of red and blue, whereas metallic blue has a shimmering finish that gives it a glossy, reflective appearance. Metallic blue appears brighter and more dynamic due to the metallic particles in its finish.


When electrons are transfered between the atoms of metallic and nonmetallic elements what kind of bonds are formed?

When a metallic atom and a nonmetallic atom have an electron transfer to form an ion, this is known as an ionic compound. For example, salt (NaCl) an electron transfer occurs. The Na, which has 1 electron on its valence shell ( outer shell) and the Cl, which has 7 electrons on its valence shell. The Na transfers its one electron to the Cl. This therefore results in the Cl having a full valence shell; at this point Cl is negative and Na is positive. We can then conclude the NaCl is an ionic compound.

Is antimony metallic or nonmetallic?

Antimony is a metalloid which means that it has metallic and nonmetallic properties and it is element 51 in the periodic table lying in the diagonal metalloids in the p group. The metallic and nonmetallic properties may be, for example, that it is grey and shiny like a metal but it may also be brittle and not conduct heat and electricity like a nonmetal.
