Minerals may be classified on the basis of their
chemistry, although specific chemical formulas are given on the Y, a generalized
knowledge of the mineral chemistry is sufficient for use in forming associations
and critical thinking.
- All the minerals on the Y chemically are
silicates.
- Which minerals of the Y are
Fe/Mg silicates?
- Which minerals are non
Fe/Mg silicates?
- Which minerals on the Y
contain Aluminum?
- Which minerals on the Y do
not contain Aluminum?
- Which minerals on the Y
are hydrated?
- Which minerals on the Y
are not hydrated?
- Which specific Feldspars contain Na and Ca as
opposed to the specific Feldspar that contains K?
