Explain the building blocks of minerals and rocks: atoms, elements, ions,
compounds...
Atoms & ions
make a crystal
which can grow and
form an aggregate of crystals
“compounds” are bonded ions, e.g., Halite (NaCl)
Olivine
(Mg,Fe)2SiO4
------silicate
Hematite (rust!)
Fe2O3
gypsum
calcium  (CaSO4)2(H2O)
sulfate
Aggregates of crystals form ROCKS!
Potassium
feldspar
quartz
plagioclase

I can use physical properties to identify minerals
Luster: the way a mineral reflects light.
Color (chemistry & structure influence light absorption): Easy to
recognize but can be misleading
Streak: the color of the powdered mineral.

I can use physical properties to identify minerals
Cleavage: A rock
breaks along planes
of weakness due to
organize mineral
structure
Biotite
Fracture describes
“breakage” not along
irregular surfaces

4.4 Atoms Are the Smallest Components of Nature With the
Properties of a Given Substance.
Protons: (+) positively charged
Neutrons: no charge & have about
same mass as protons
Electrons: (-) negative charge and
have very little mass

Question 3: What property of an atom defines what element it is?
A. number of electrons
B. number of protons
C. atomic mass
D. number of neutrons

Explain the building blocks of minerals & rocks: atoms, elements, ions,
compounds
Atoms want to fill their outer electron shell with 8 electrons
Oppositely charge ions attract: cations (+) are attracted to anions (-)
(1) Ionic bonding: Sodium transfers electron and becomes a cation (+ charge).
Chlorine takes the electron and becomes an anion (-charge)
The two ions attract and form an ionic bond
Halite (table
salt) NaCl

Explain the building blocks of minerals & rocks: atoms, elements, ions,
compounds
(2) Covalent bonds: Elements share electrons in order to
fill their outermost shell.
Ice, H2O
Olivine
(peridote)
(Mg,Fe)2SiO4
(3) Metallic bonding: Bonding between atoms within metals. All “free”
electrons shared in an “electron sea.”

Explain the building blocks of minerals & rocks: atoms, elements, ions,
compounds
Atoms want to fill their outer electron shell with 8 electrons
Oppositely charge ions attract: cations (+) are attracted to anions (-)
Atoms that do NOT have 8
electrons in the outer shell are
chemically reactive.
Atoms that DO have 8
electrons in the outer shell are
chemically inert.

Recognize ways in which mining impacts the environment
Mining projects need
to consider:
 Future land use
 Groundwater
 Waste Materials
 Erosion & topsoil
 Dust & Air Polution
 Health Impacts
 Cultural Issues
 Ecological Impacts

Utah’s Bingham Canyon Copper Mine
2013 Landslide
All the rock that is processed produces only 0.6% copper. The average home uses
180 kg of copper and the average car uses 23 kg. Each person in the U.S. will use
680 kg in their life time. How many kg of rock will be processed?
680 = 0.006 x (mass of rock processed)
(mass of rock processed) = 680/0.006=113,333 kg
That’s 230,000 tons per person!
