Answer:

Metallic Minerals:

As the name suggests, metallic minerals are the minerals that contain one or more metals. In general, they occur as mineral deposits and are a good conductor of heat and electricity, e.g. iron, copper, gold, bauxite, manganese etc. They are malleable and ductile in nature so they can be easily pounded into thin sheets or stretched into wires to make new products. They are generally found in igneous rocks that are formed by cooling and solidification of lava or magma.

Non-Metallic Minerals:

As the name suggests, non-metallic minerals are the minerals that do not contain metals, e.g. limestone, mica, coal, gypsum, dolomite, phosphate, salt, manganese, granite etc. They are used in various industries to produce a variety of products, e.g. mica is used in electrical industry, limestone is used in cement industry. Furthermore, they are also used in the production of fertilizers and manufacturing of refractories. They are generally found in sedimentary rocks that are formed by the aggregation of various materials like minerals, remains of organisms, rock particles etc
