Is granite nonmetallic

Answer 1

Granite is a mineral, and is not assigned status as a metal or nonmetal. The metal/nonmetal characteristic is usually assigned to a chemical element rather than to chemical compounds or, as is the case with granite, groups of these compounds.

There will be some metals in all granite. Though this mineral is largly made of silicon dioxide (SiO2), a number of metal compounds will be present in small amounts within the crystaline structure. Aluminum, potassium, sodium, iron and other metals, and even traces of uranium, can be found in granite.

Answer 2

No. Granite is intrusive igneous felsic rock composed of a variety of minerals including quartz, mica, and feldspar.

Answer 3
