- Опубликовано: 24 янв 2019
- For an introductory college-level earth sciences class: a review of what makes a mineral -- and how a mineral's chemical formula and crystal structure connects to the their color, fracture, cleavage, luster, and more. Includes families of basic rock-forming minerals, such as the silicates, oxides, halides, and sulfides.
**This video comes near the middle of the semester, so there may be terms with which the audience is unfamiliar. For a full playlist, refer to the Geology playlists on the Earth Rocks! RUclips Channel.
Content within this video is based on information available in any standard introductory college geology textbook, such as Essentials of Geology -- Tarbuck and Lutgens -- Pearson Publishing.
Part of a series of videos for Minerals:
1. Rock Cycle
2. Water Molecule Shape
3. Inside Minerals
4. Identifying Minerals
5. MINERALS ADDENDUM: (For lab students only!)

Thank you!
Excellent well organized presentation! now I know why quartz is so abondant!
13:10 this is what I'm been trying to understand. Thank you!
Great video. Good amount of information organized and understandable :) . Thanks!
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you so much, that was great!!!
Nicely done~
I have a question: Where are Phosphates, Hydroxides and Borates mineral group. ? 5:52
Interesting
Thank you
I can't get how the Si:O ratio calculated? any idea?
It's the ratio of Silicon atoms to Oxygen atoms in a given mineral. Example: quartz has the chemical formula of SiO2, which is a ratio of Si to O of 1:2 (for every SIlicon atom in the mineral there are 2 oxygen atoms). I hope that helps! :)
What's wrong with this video? It won't play past 0:26
