rocks made up of only one mineral are called monomineralic rocks like dunite(olivine), quartzite(quartz) etc.
The rock type most likely to be monomineralic is a metamorphic rock, specifically a type like marble, which is composed almost entirely of the mineral calcite or dolomite. Another example is quartzite, primarily made up of quartz grains. These rocks form under specific conditions that promote the dominance of a single mineral, making them excellent examples of monomineralic rocks.
slate which only contains the composition mica quartzite and marble as well
A single bed of sedimentary rock that consists of one type of material is known as a monomineralic bed. This type of bed forms when sediments are predominantly composed of a single mineral, such as quartz or calcite, and accumulate in a continuous layer. Monomineralic beds are common in environments where one type of mineral is abundant and dominant in the sedimentation process.
Monomineralic rocks are composed of only one mineral, while polymineralic rocks are composed of multiple minerals. Monomineralic rocks are typically formed from the crystallization of a single mineral, whereas polymineralic rocks may form from the cooling and solidification of a mixture of minerals.
Lime stone (the only mineral is calcite CaCO3 and belong to group carbonate), and the second example is halite( the only mineral is halite, composition is Nacl and belong to evaporates group).
Quartz is the rock most likely to be monomineralic, as it mainly consists of the mineral quartz.

I have absolutely no idea!!

Of a rock, composed entirely or principally of a single mineral.

The majority of rocks are composed of a variety of minerals. Monomineralic rocks are rare.
Limestonedunitequartziteand some others
A rock such as quartzite or marble consists of basically one mineral. So yes, a rock could consist of a single mineral, although most definitions describe a rock as consisting of combinations of minerals.
Monomineralic rocks are composed of only one mineral, while polymineralic rocks are composed of multiple minerals. Monomineralic rocks are typically formed from the crystallization of a single mineral, whereas polymineralic rocks may form from the cooling and solidification of a mixture of minerals.

no a rock is a mixture of 2 elements or more so it would not be possible
