On a trip to the natural history museum you find two minerals that are similar in color. You can see from their chemical formulas that one mineral contains the elements zinc, carbon, and oxygen. The other mineral contains the elements zinc, silicon, oxygen, and hydrogen. Your friend tells you that the minerals are in the same mineral group. Do you agree? Explain your reasoning.

Respuesta :

Answer:Yes they are in the same mineral group

Explanation:zinc is the central elements there. The rest of the elements are present as impurities due to where it was found. Like carbon is can be found in the soil, silicon with oxygen is basically sand, hydrogen is in the atmosphere and also in water and soil too. So apart from zinc, the rest are normal day to day elements.
