Who is Dori Dilson in Stargirl?
Dori Dilson was Stargirl's best friend at Mica High. In Love, Stargirl, Stargirl says to Leo [in her 'World's Longest Letter' to him], "Some of the kids at Mica High turned against me. Some turned away from me. Dori was the only one who did neither."
Which has more mass quartz or pyrite?
There's no way to answer your question. More accurately, there is no way to answer your question without sounding like a smart-ass. We can't tell which has more mass unless we know how much of each you have to begin with! If you've got a pound of quartz and 10 pounds of pyrite, the pyrite is more massive, because objects with greater mass have greater weight. If you've got only an ounce of pyrite, your one-pound sample of quartz is more massive. Here's a question for you: What weighs more, a pound of feathers or a pound of rocks? Many people who answer too quickly say, "Rocks." And they'd be wrong. Since both weigh a pound, they have the same weight and, therefore, have the same mass. In other words, they both contain the same amount of matter. Perhaps what you meant to ask is What has the greater density? Density is mass per unit volume. So, if you had, say, a cubic foot of quartz and a cubic foot of pyrite, then you could ask Which is more massive? or Which has greater mass? That would be a question we could answer definitively. Quartz has a density of about 2.65 grams per cubic centimeter. Pyrite's density is about 4.9 g/cc. So a cubic centimeter of pyrite is more massive than a cc of quartz.
Is silica dioxide quartz an organic molecule?
No. It is neither organic nor a molecule. Silicon dioxide consists only of silicon and oxygen. By definition, an organic compound must contain carbon. Second, silicon dioxide forms a covalent network rather than molecules.
What are native minerals?
IT IS A MINERAL MADE OF ONLY 1 ELEMENT
Are igneous rocks made up of only one mineral?
No, igneous rocks are not made up of only one mineral. They are typically composed of a variety of minerals, which are formed by the cooling and solidification of molten rock material. Some common minerals found in igneous rocks include quartz, feldspar, and mica.
What brittle metalloid element occurs in sand quartz granite feldspar and clay?
The most common metalloid elements (those behaving between the metals and non-metals) are: B, Si, Ge, Te, As, & Sb. Of these common ones only Si (silicon) occurs in sand, quartz (Silicon dioxide), granite (feldspar + quartz + mica), feldspar (alumino silicate), and clay (oxidized alumino silicate.) So the answer is Silicon.
What are rocks What are the component of rocks.?
Rocks are composed of minerals.
What material is only found in continental crust?
Granitic rock is a material that is primarily found in continental crust. It is composed of minerals like quartz, feldspar, and mica, and is associated with the lighter composition characteristic of continental crust compared to oceanic crust.
This material is found only in the continental crust?
The material you are referring to is likely granite. Granite is a common rock type found in the continental crust, consisting mainly of quartz, feldspar, and mica minerals. It is typically associated with continental landmasses and is less common in oceanic crust.
What are minerals that contain oxygen and silicon?
They are classified as silicates, one of the more common being the mineral quartz which is composed only of the elements silicon and oxygen (SiO2). Other silicate minerals may include one or more other elements as well in their chemical formula.
Which igneous rock contains the greatest amount of quartz?
yes NO. It helps form igneous rocks like granite along with mica and feldspar and other minerals, in basalts and gabbros there is no quartz but it does form silicates like olivine. When weathered out of igneous rocks like granite it will eventually be found on beaches as sand grains. It is found in metamorphic rocks where it usually forms large lenses, and in fault systems as masses of quartz and other churned up rock powder. It forms the major gangue or waste mineral in many metal mines.
Minerals in igneous rock?
Felsic rocks mostly contain silicates such as feldspars and quartz, mafic rocks are ferrromagnesian, containing mostly pyroxene and olivine, ultramafic rocks only contain pyroxene and olivine, and rocks neither felsic nor mafic mostly contain plagioclase feldspar, biotite mica, and amphibole.
Why silicon dioxide cannot be the only compound in the sample of sand?
Silicon dioxide is the main component of sand, but it is not the only compound present. Sand may also contain other minerals like quartz, feldspar, and mica, as well as traces of other substances depending on the source of the sand.
Is silicate a state of matter?
No, there are only 4 states of matter: Commonly known are liquid, gas and solid. When you electrically charge a gas you get the fourth state of matter: plasma.
Is pennies made out of mica schist?
i thought they were made of copper and zincand it's are pennies made out of mica schist not is
Only about 30 minerals are common in rocks What are they called?
The 30 common minerals found in rocks are known as rock-forming minerals. Some examples include quartz, feldspar, mica, and amphibole. These minerals make up the majority of the Earth's crust and are essential components of different types of rocks.
