Definition of Metallic Minerals

As it is evident from the name itself, metallic minerals are the type of minerals that are composed of metals. These are hard substances, which are the good conductor of heat and electricity. They have their own lustre. Some examples of metallic minerals are Iron, copper, gold, bauxite, manganese, etc.

Hard metallic minerals can be used as gems in jewellery. These are also used in various industries for fulfilling various purposes, such as silicon (obtained from quartz), is highly used in computer industry, aluminium (obtained from bauxite) is used in automobile and bottling industry,

Metallic Minerals can be classified into two categories:

Ferrous Mineral: The minerals that contain iron content are called ferrous minerals. Three-fourth of the total production of metallic minerals are constituted by ferrous metallic minerals. It includes iron ore, manganese, nickel and chromite.

Non-ferrous Mineral: Those minerals which comprise of some other metal rather than iron is known as a non-ferrous metallic mineral. They are commonly used in our day to day life. It includes gold, copper, silver, lead, tin, etc.

Definition of Non-metallic Minerals

Non-metallic minerals can be described as the minerals that do not comprise of metals. Some examples of non-metallic minerals are limestone, manganese, mica, gypsum, coal, dolomite, phosphate, salt, granite, etc.

Non-metallic minerals are used in various industries to manufacture different products; mica is used in electrical and electronics industry, limestone is highly used in cement industry. These are also used in the production of fertilizers and manufacturing refractories.

The difference between metallic and non-metallic minerals can be drawn clearly on the following grounds:

Metallic Minerals can be understood as the minerals in which metals are present in their original form. Conversely, non-metallic minerals, are those minerals which do not have metal content in them.

Igneous and metamorphic rocks formations contain metallic minerals. On the contrary, non-metallic minerals can be found in sedimentary rocks and young fold mountains.

On the melting of metallic minerals, a new product is obtained, whereas no new product is obtained from non-metallic minerals when they are melted.

Metallic minerals are a good at conducting heat and electricity, such as copper. Unlike, non-metallic minerals, which insulates heat and electricity, such as mica.

Metallic minerals do not break down into pieces when constantly hammered, as well as they have the ability to be drawn into thin wires. As against this, non-metallic minerals, usually break down into pieces, on hammering, and they cannot be drawn into wires or sheets.

Metallic minerals are lustrous, i.e. they have their own shine, while non-metallic minerals are non-lustrous.

hey mate your's answer is here⤵⤵⤵⤵


Metals gave the following characteristics property
:They are ductile
:They are sonorus.
:They are meleable
:They are good conductor of electricity



In non metals these properties are in opposite.
