Minerals
• A mineral is a naturally occurring, inorganic, crystalline solid with a definite, but sometimes variable, chemical composition.
Can you name any of these minerals?
![Page 4: CHAPTER 4: Minerals. Making Steel This photo shows the process of making steel. What are some other products that we make from minerals?](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56649e3c5503460f94b2e9bc/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Minerals continued
• Minerals are compounds that we use every day
• The average automobile contains:– more than 1000 kg of steel,– 110 kg of aluminum,– 23 kg of carbon,– 19 kg of copper,– 19 kg of silicon, – 10 kg of zinc, and – more than 30 other metals
including titanium, gold and platinum.

Rocks and Minerals
• A Rock is a solid aggregate of minerals
Four different minerals are visible in this piece of granite. Can you name them?

Identifying Minerals
• Geologists use Physical Properties to identify minerals• Identify by testing: cleavage, fracture, hardness, luster, colour,
streak, reaction to acid, crystal habit
![Page 11: CHAPTER 4: Minerals. Making Steel This photo shows the process of making steel. What are some other products that we make from minerals?](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56649e3c5503460f94b2e9bc/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Returning to the Halite model
• Fracture just means “breakage” (irregular or conchoidal)• Cleavage represents breaks along specific planes that are
determined by the mineral’s molecular structure
![Page 12: CHAPTER 4: Minerals. Making Steel This photo shows the process of making steel. What are some other products that we make from minerals?](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56649e3c5503460f94b2e9bc/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Hardness Tests
• Created in 1812 by Austrian mineralogist, Friedrich Mohs
Mineral Drag and DropAnimation
What is the hardness of a mineral that is soft enough to be scratched by a wire nail and hard enough to scratch a copper penny?
![Page 13: CHAPTER 4: Minerals. Making Steel This photo shows the process of making steel. What are some other products that we make from minerals?](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56649e3c5503460f94b2e9bc/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Luster, Colour and Streak
• Luster refers to the way a mineral reflects light.– (metallic, vitreous or “glassy”, silky, resinous, pearly, and earthy)
• Colour is not always a reliable property for identification of a mineral. – (Structure influences light absorption and reflection. Minor
impurities can have a significant influence on colour.)• Streak is the color of the powdered mineral.
– (testable by scraping the rock along a porcelain “streak plate”)

Atoms
• Atoms are the smallest components of nature with the properties of a given substance
Particle Mass Charge
Electron ~0 -1
Proton 1 +1
Neutron 1 0
![Page 15: CHAPTER 4: Minerals. Making Steel This photo shows the process of making steel. What are some other products that we make from minerals?](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56649e3c5503460f94b2e9bc/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Atomscontinued
For any given element:• Atomic number is the
number of protons in the nucleus
• Mass number is the total number of neutrons and protons in the nucleus
What are the atomic number and the mass number (a.k.a atomic weight) of the element carbon?
![Page 16: CHAPTER 4: Minerals. Making Steel This photo shows the process of making steel. What are some other products that we make from minerals?](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56649e3c5503460f94b2e9bc/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Isotopes
• Isotopes are atoms with differing numbers of neutrons (hence differing mass numbers) but a similar number of protons
![Page 17: CHAPTER 4: Minerals. Making Steel This photo shows the process of making steel. What are some other products that we make from minerals?](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56649e3c5503460f94b2e9bc/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Variations in Electrical Charge
• Variations in electrical charge form ions• Negative charge = anion• Positive charge = cation
When an atom loses electrons does it become a cation or an anion?
![Page 18: CHAPTER 4: Minerals. Making Steel This photo shows the process of making steel. What are some other products that we make from minerals?](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56649e3c5503460f94b2e9bc/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Octete Rule
• Atoms bond to achieve a stable electron configuration. Most atoms bond to achieve 8 electrons in the outer shell - the so-called “Octet Rule”
![Page 19: CHAPTER 4: Minerals. Making Steel This photo shows the process of making steel. What are some other products that we make from minerals?](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56649e3c5503460f94b2e9bc/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Ionic Bonding
• Minerals are compounds of atoms bonded together “… to achieve a stable electron configuration …”
In a sodium-chlorine ionic bond, which element is the anion and which is the cation?
![Page 20: CHAPTER 4: Minerals. Making Steel This photo shows the process of making steel. What are some other products that we make from minerals?](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56649e3c5503460f94b2e9bc/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Covalent Bonding
•“… to achieve a stable electron configuration …”
![Page 21: CHAPTER 4: Minerals. Making Steel This photo shows the process of making steel. What are some other products that we make from minerals?](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56649e3c5503460f94b2e9bc/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Metallic Bonding
• Bonding between atoms within metals. All “free” electrons sAhared in an “electron sea”.
• The metallic bonding in metals accounts for two of their important properties: – - they conduct electricity
(because electrons are free to move), and
– - they are malleable (because the bonds are flexible).

Rocks and Minerals
• All types of rocks are primarily made up of minerals
• Igneous minerals crystallize from cooling magma, either slowly at depth or quickly at surface.
• Sedimentary minerals crystallize between sedimentary grains from dissolved elements in groundwater, usually in the absence of oxygen.
• Metamorphic minerals recrystallize from existing minerals where conditions in the crust cause high heat and pressure.

Formation of Magma
• Magma forms in three major tectonic settings
submarine volcanism

Oxygen and Silicon are the two most abundant elements in the crust

Silica
• Silica - 4 oxygen atoms surround a single silicon atom. Each oxygen atom covalently shares 1 electron with the silicon atom, jointly filling its outermost shell.

Types of Silicate Structures
Where silica tetrahedra are joined together O atoms are shared, and the overall negative charge is reduced.

Metallic Cations
• Metallic cations join silicate structures together to form a neutral compound
• Cations of like size and charge substitute within silicate structures.
• This forms a wide variety of minerals• Most commonly substituted Cation pairs
are Na+/Ca2+, Al3+ /Si4+, and Fe2+/Mg2+• Olivine varies by Single Cation Substitution
(e.g., Fe for Mg)• Plagioclase Feldspar varies by Double
Cation Substitution (meaning that when Ca substitutes for Na, Al substitutes for Si)

Mining
• Mining is an important part of our current economic and industrial systems.
• The potential for environ-mental damage is real, but it can be minimized.
• By law, mining plans must include stream, ground-water and topsoil protection, careful waste rock handling, prevention of acid rock drainage, erosion, sediment, and dust control and restoration of the shape of the land.
Acid Rock Drainage destroys streams near many mines
