Question

Each ore are minerals but all minerals are not an ore. Explain

Answer 1

Minerals are naturally occurring inorganic solids with a crystalline structure and a definite range of chemical formula. Ores are concentrations of minerals in rock that are high enough to be economically extracted for use. All ores are minerals, but all minerals are not necessarily ores.


 

For example: Aluminium is extracted from the ore bauxite.
