Question

Give names of Non-ferrous minerals. Describe any two.

Answer 1

Non-ferrous minerals are those minerals which do not have iron. example, copper, gold, lead, etc.

• Copper:- Copper is malleable, ductile and a good conductor of heat. It is mainly used in electrical cables, electronics and chemical industries.
• Aluminum:- Pure aluminum is a silvery-white metal with many desirable characteristics. it is light, nontoxic, nonmagnetic and non sparking. it is easily formed, machined and cast. Pure aluminum is soft and lacks strength, but alloys with small amounts of copper, magnesium, silicon, manganese and other elements have very useful properties.
