If there approximately 3600 known minerals and about 20 of the minerals are native elements what percentage of all minerals are native elements?

Percentage is a ratio. In your question you ask, what value is 20 compared to 3600. solution: (20/3600)*100 = 0.56%, slightly greater than 1/2%

What is halides oxides sufates sulfides carbonates and native elements are blank minerals?
Nonsilicate
To what class of minerals do gold silver and copper belong?
Gold, Silver and Copper belong to the native elements mineral group.
Why were least reactive elements discovered before more reactive elements?
The simple reason is that least reactive elements are mostly found in their native state while reactive elements are found in combined state (in form of their compounds). It is easier to extract any element in it's native or elementary form. Such elements can be easily separated from their ore. They are separated by using physical processes. Reactive elements need to be extracted from their minerals through chemical processes which are more expensive and tedious.
What mineral group is silver in?
Native elemental minerals.
Contains atoms of a single element?
Native element minerals
What kind of elements are halides oxides sulfates sulfides carbonates and native elements?
What you have listed are not elements (except for the 'native elements'), they are classifications of minerals.
Are feldspars and hematite examples of native elements?
No. Feldspars and hematite are examples of minerals.
What class of minerals do gold silver and copper belong too?
They are native elements.
What is another example of native elements?
Native elements are a group of minerals with a molecular structure consisting of only one element. Some examples are gold, copper and silver.
What is halides oxides sufates sulfides carbonates and native elements are blank minerals?
Nonsilicate
What minerals are made of just two elements?
Native elements such as sulfur, gold, silver, and carbon in the form of diamond and graphite.
To what class of minerals do gold silver and copper belong?
Gold, Silver and Copper belong to the native elements mineral group.
What are the different mineral?
There are over four thousand different minerals. There are some major groups of minerals, which include groups such as oxides, silicates, carbonates, phosphates, borates, halides, sulfides, and native elements.
Why non silicate minerals have wider variety of crystalline structures than silicate minerasls do?
Non-silicate minerals contain oxygen and native elements. They have metallic and non-metallic lusters, and are very common.
How is a native mineral different from most other materials?
A native mineral is composed of atoms of a single element, like gold, copper, and silver. Most minerals are composed of two or more elements.
What elements are found by themselves in nature?
Native elements are those found by themselves, in pure form, uncombined with other elements into minerals. Of all the elements, only about thirty native elements are known, including metals like copper, gold, lead, and iron; semi-metals like antimony, arsenic, bismuth, and tellurium, and non-metals like diamond, sulfur, and selenium. --------- carbon
What are the three groupings of minerals?
Minerals are grouped by their chemical composition. There are more than 3 groups of minerals including. Silicates, oxides, sulfates, sulfides, carbonates, native elements, and halides are all major mineral groups. Silicates are definitely at the top of the list.
