Minerals and Rocks

Trang 2

Lecture Outline

 What are minerals?

 Common rock-forming minerals

 Physical properties of minerals

 Basic rock types

 The rock cycle

Trang 3

Minerals

 Natural

 Solid

 Atoms arranged in orderly repeating 3D array: crystalline

 Not part of the tissue of an organism

 Composition fixed or varies within defined limits

Minerals are the “building blocks” of rock

A mineral is a naturally occurring, solid crystalline substance, generally inorganic, with a specific chemical composition

Trang 5

Atomic Structure of Minerals

 NaCl - sodium chloride

Halite

Trang 6

Chemical Bonds: Ionic

 Electrical attraction between ions of opposite charge

 Bond strength increases with the electrical charges of the ions

 Bond strength decreases as the distance between the ions increases

 Most minerals are this kind of compound

Trang 7

Na + Cl

-Ionic Bonding example:

halite

Anion Cation

Trang 8

Covalent Bonds:

 Electron sharing

 Generally stronger than ionic bonds (e.g., diamond)

Trang 9

Crystallization of Minerals

 Growth from a liquid or a gas

 Magma that has cooled below its melting point

 Supersaturated solution > precipitation

Ions can be compound

 So far, we’ve talked about individual atomic ions

 Many common minerals are silicates

SiO4

4-Complex ions act as a single

ion in forming crystal structure

Trang 14

Cation Substitution

 Crystal structure determined by those large anions

 Various cations can substitute for each other in many minerals

 Same crystal structure

 Different chemical composition

Common Rock-Forming Minerals

Minerals fall into a small number of related “families” based mainly on the anion in them

Trang 18

 Most abundant minerals in the Earth's crust

 Silicate ion (tetrahedron), SiO4

4- Quartz (SiO2), K-feldspar (KAlSi3O8), olivine ((Mg, Fe)2SiO4), kaolinite

(Al2Si2O5(OH)4)

Silicate structure

 Most of the most common rocks in the crust are silicates

 Silicate tetrahedra can combine in several ways to form many common minerals

 Typical cations:

K+, Ca+, Na+, Mg2+, Al3+, Fe2+

Trang 21

Different numbers of oxygen ions are shared among tetrahedra

Trang 22

 Cations with carbonate ion (CO3

2-)

 Calcite (CaCO3), dolomite (CaMg(CO3)2), siderite (FeCO3), smithsonite (ZnCO3)

 Make up many common rocks including limestone and marble

 Very important for CCS!

 Compounds of metallic cations and oxygen

 Important for many metal ores needed to make things (e.g., iron, chromium, titanium)

 Ores are economically useful (i.e., possible to mine) mineral deposits

Trang 27

Trang 28

 Metallic cations with sulfide (S 2- ) ion

 Important for ores of copper, zinc, nickel, lead, iron

 Pyrite (FeS2), galena (PbS)

Sedimentary Rocks

Trang 53

Origin of sediment

 Produced by weathering and erosion or by precipitation from solution

 Weathering = chemical and mechanical breakdown of rocks

 Erosion = processes that get the weathered material moving

Trang 55

Chemical/biochemical

Trang 56

 The process that converts sediments into solid rock

 Compaction

 Cementation
