Question

Differentiate between metallic and non-metallic minerals.

Answer 1

Hint: Inorganic compounds found under diverse conditions and in varying types of geological settings are naturally occurring minerals. They have a structure of crystalline and come with a certain chemical composition. Minerals are broken into two groups, including minerals that are metallic and non-metallic.

Complete answer:

Metallic minerals	Non-metallic minerals
Metallic minerals consist of one or more metallic elements, while non-metallic minerals do not contain any metal elements, but are made up of chemical elements that do not typically have metal properties or characteristics.	Non-metals are minerals (non-metallic minerals) that do not, as a rule, serve as the raw material for metal extraction. The non-metal group, which is prevalent among the spectrum of minerals, is of great economic significance.
A new substance is formed as metallic minerals are melted.	In the case of non-metallic minerals, after such a process, you do not get a new product.
In igneous and metamorphic rock formations, metallic minerals are typically found.	Embedded in young folded mountains and sedimentary rocks, non-metallic minerals are also present.
Metallic minerals are both strong energy and heat conductors.	Basically non-metallic minerals are fine energy and heat insulators.
Metallic minerals have high malleability and ductility.	Non-metallic minerals, and these minerals readily break down due to loss of malleability and ductility.
Typically, metallic crystals have lustre.	There is no glitter or lustre on non-metallic minerals.

Note: Some common metallic minerals are iron, copper, gold, silver, etc. Non-metallic rocks do not have metal atoms in their inorganic chemical formula. A few common examples are Clay, Diamond, Dolomite, Gypsum, Mica, Amethyst, and Quartz, etc.
