Haiway's silicate and non silicate mineral presentation

1. Silicate and Non-silicate Minerals By: Haiway Chen / Hai -Wei Chen

2. What are silicate and non-silicate minerals? Silicate and non-silicate minerals are the two most common types of classification of minerals based on chemical composition!!!

3. Silicate Minerals Minerals that contain silicon and oxygen are silicate minerals!!! Silicate minerals make up 90% of the earth’s crust!!! The other 10% are non-silicate minerals!!! Silicon and oxygen usually combine with other elements such as iron, aluminum, magnesium, and potassium to make up silicate minerals!!!

4. Common Types of Silicate Minerals Quartz- Basic Building block of many rocks

5. Common Types of Silicate Minerals Feldspar – Main component of most rocks on earth’s surface

6. Common Types of Silicate Minerals Mica – Mica minerals separate into sheets easily when they break

7. Non-Silicate Minerals Minerals that do not contain oxygen or silicon are non-silicate minerals!!! Some of these minerals are made up of elements like carbon, oxygen, fluorine, and sulfur!!!

8. Important Classes of Non-Silicate Minerals Native Elements – Minerals made up of only one element. Some types of native elements are copper, gold, and silver. Native elements are used in things like communications and electronics equipment. Gold

9. Important Classes of Non-Silicate Minerals Carbonates – Minerals that contain oxygen and carbon in their composition. We use carbonates for building stones, cement, and fireworks. Fireworks

10. Important Classes of Non-Silicate Minerals Halides – Halides are compounds that form when sodium, calcium, and potassium combine with fluorine, iodine, bromine, and chlorine. Halides are used in detergents and in the chemical industry. Detergent

11. Important Classes of Non-Silicate Minerals Oxides – Compounds that form when an element forms chemically with oxygen. Oxides are used to make abrasives, paint, and airplane parts. Paint

12. Important Classes of Non-Silicate Minerals Sulfates – Minerals that contain oxygen and sulfur. Sulfates are used in things like paint, cement, toothpaste, and cosmetics. Toothpaste

13. Important Classes of Non-Silicate Minerals Sulfides – Minerals that contain one or more elements combined with sulfur. Sulfide is used in things like batteries, electronic parts, and medicines. Batteries
