Metallic minerals are more useful as compared to non metallic minerals. Do you agree? Justify your answer.

Explanation

No, I do not agree. Minerals both metallic and non metallic have their own importance.
(i) Metallic minerals: These minerals contain metal content and can be sub- divided into three types:
(a) Precious metals: Gold, Sivler, Platinum, etc
(b) Ferrous metals: Iron, Nickel, Chromite, Maganese
(c) Non-ferrous metals : Copper, Lead, Zinc, Tin etc.
(ii) Non metallic minerals: These minerals do not have a metal content. Sulphur, phosphates and nitrates are some of the examples. Cement is a mixture of non metallic mineral. These minerals have their own utility. We can.t manage without these minerals.
