Question

Differences between metallic mineral resources and nonmetallic minerals resources

Answer 1

Metallic Minerals: Economically more valuable.

Generally hard,tough and shiny

Can change shape without breaking

Can be stretched and compressed

Many are good thermal and electrical conductors

More reactive with water and acid

Non-Metal Minerals: Economically less valuable except for the power resources

Softer,rough,and may not shine

Breaks away when shape is changed

Cannot be stretched or compressed

Poor thermal and electrical conductors

Less reactive with water and acid
