Which one of the following is correct?

evs - i constituents of food minerals in our diets types of nutrients nutrients and deficiency

  1. All minerals are ores

  2. All ores one minerals.

  3. Metal is extracted from all minerals

  4. Bauxite is an ore of iron

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Minerals are natural elements or compounds occur in earth's crust whereas over are those, which are extracted from minerals without economic loss.

So, all ores are minerals.

A mineral is known as the ore of a metal if the metal:

evs - i constituents of food minerals in our diets types of nutrients nutrients and deficiency

  1. can not be produced from it

  2. can be produced from it

  3. can be produced from it profitably

  4. present in it, is very costly

Show answer
Correct Option: C
Explanation:

A mineral is known as the ore of a metal if the metal can be produced from it profitably. There can be many minerals of a metal but the ones which undergo purification are known as ores.

Pick the correct statements.

evs - i constituents of food minerals in our diets types of nutrients nutrients and deficiency

  1. All ores are minerals

  2. All minerals are ores

  3. A mineral cannot be an ore

  4. An ore cannot be a mineral

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Minerals are natural elements or compounds occurs in earth's crust where as ores are those, which are extracted from minerals without economic loss.

All ores are minerals.
Ex: Iron minerals are Siderite and Haematite. But Haematite is only ore.

Which of the following minerals does not contain iron?

evs - i constituents of food minerals in our diets types of nutrients nutrients and deficiency

  1. Magnetitie

  2. Magnesite

  3. Haematite

  4. None of these

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Haematite is $Fe _2O _3$, magnetite is $Fe _3O _4$ and Magnesite is $MgCO _3$.
$\therefore$ Magnesite is not ore of iron.
