Chemistry: Difference between Metallic and Non-Metallic Minerals in Tabular Form

Minerals

  • Minerals are usually occurring inorganic substances found under varying conditions and in different types of geological environments.
  • They have crystalline structure and come with a definite chemical composition.
  • Minerals are divided into two types:
    • Metallic Minerals
    • Non-metallic Minerals

Metallic Minerals

Metallic minerals are composed of one or more metallic elements whereas non-metallic minerals do not contain any metal elements instead they consist of chemical elements.

Illustration: Metallic Minerals

Non-Metallic Minerals

Non-metallic minerals are minerals which, as a rule, do not serve as raw material for the extraction of metal.

Illustration: Non-Metallic Minerals

Difference between Metallic and Non-Metallic Minerals

Table Shows Difference between Metallic and Non-Metallic MineralsTable Shows Difference between Metallic and Non-Metallic Minerals
Metallic MineralsNon-metallic Minerals
It contains metal in the raw form.It does not contain metals.
These metals are generally associated with igneous rocks.These metals are generally associated with sedimentary rocks.
They are usually hard and have a shine of their own.They are not usually hard and have no shine of their own.
Good conductors of electricity as well as heat.Basically, good insulators of electricity and heat.
High malleability and ductility.Lack in malleability and ductility and these minerals break down easily.
Examples: iron, copper, bauxite and tinExamples: salt, coal, mica and clay
