1 Classification of Minerals by Anionic Species (Anions are negative ions) Chemical Classification of Minerals Learning goals: How are minerals classified by chemistry? Why is this useful? Anions are Negative Ions May be single species O 2-, F -, Cl -, S 2- May be anionic group (polyanion): CO 3 2-, SO 4 2-, PO 4 3- Silicates are classified by polymerization of the silicate polyanion. Isolated tetrahedra Chains Sheets Frameworks Periodic Table Native Elements (no anions) Native Elements Pure elements that occur as minerals Graphite, diamond (C) Sulfur (S) Gold (Au), Silver (Ag), Copper (Cu) Iron (kamacite) Nickel (taenite) As, Te, Se, Pt, Ir, Os, Pd, Ru, Rh 1
2 Halides: anion is F, Cl, Br or I Halogens are the elements F, Cl, Br, I Halogens are monovalent anions Halite (NaCl), Sylvite (KCl) Fluorite (CaF 2) Cryolite Na 3 AlF 6 Sulfides: anion is S Sulfur is anion, but is more covalent than ionic Pyrite, marcasite (FeS 2), Chalcopyrite (CuFeS 2) Sphalerite ZnS, Galena (PbS) Chalcocite Cu 2S, Covellite (CuS), Bornite (Cu 5 5FeS 4 4) Realgar (AsS), Orpiment (As 2S 3), Cinnabar (HgS) Stibnite (Sb 2S 3), Molybdenite (MoS 2) Sulfide minerals typically have metallic luster, covalent bonding, and occur in hydrothermal veins. Only rarely do they occur at the surface. Elements in Sulfide Minerals Oxides (Single): anion is O (no polyanion) Hemi-oxide Cuprite (Cu 2O), Ice (H 2 O) Monoxides Periclase group MgO, FeO, CaO, MnO Zincite ZnO, Bromellite BeO Sesquioxides Corundum Al 2O 3, Hematite Fe 2O 3 Dioxides Rutile TiO 2, Cassiterite SnO 2, Pyrolusite MnO 2 Oxides (Complex): anion is O Hydroxides: anion is (OH) - Ilmenite FeTiO 3 Spinel Group Spinel MgAl 2O 4, Magnetite Fe 3O 4 Perovskite CaTiO 3 2
3 Hydroxides: anion is OH Carbonates anion is (CO 3 ) 2- Brucite Mg(OH) 2 Gibbsite Al(OH) 3 Diaspore AlOOH(Bauxite) Goethite FeOOH Carbonates Anion is (CO 3 ) 2- Calcite CaCO 3, Rhodochrosite MnCO 3 Siderite FeCO 3, Smithsonite ZnCO 3 Dolomite CaMg(CO 3) 2 Aragonite CaCO 3, Witherite BaCO 3 Strontianite SrCO 3,Cerussite PbCO 3 Malachite and Azurite Sulfates and Phosphates: (SO 4 ) 2- and (PO 4 ) 3- Sulfates and Phosphates: (SO 4 ) 2- and (PO 4 ) 3- Barite (BaSO 4), Celestine (SrSO 4) Gypsum CaSO 4.2H 2O Anhydrite CaSO 4 Apatite Ca 5(PO 4) 3OH Turquoise CuAl 6 (PO 4 ) 4 (OH) 8 4H 2 O 3
