Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Carbonates form when carbon combines with other elements, particularly oxygen, along with a metal ion such as calcium or magnesium. Silicates are compounds formed by the combination of silicon with oxygen, often along with other elements, such as aluminum or magnesium. Oxides are compounds formed by the combination of an element with oxygen, without the presence of a metal ion. Sulfides and sulfates are compounds containing sulfur instead of carbon.
