The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to analyze each statement provided and determine which one is incorrect. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Statement Analysis**: - **Option A**: "Calamine and siderite are carbonates." - **Calamine**: The general formula for calamine is \( \text{Zn}_4\text{Si}_2\text{O}_7\text{(OH)}_2 \cdot n\text{H}_2\text{O} \), which indicates that calamine is primarily an oxide of zinc, not a carbonate. - **Siderite**: The general formula for siderite is \( \text{FeCO}_3 \), which is indeed a carbonate. - **Conclusion**: This statement is incorrect because calamine is not a carbonate. 2. **Option B**: "Argentite and cuprite are oxides." - **Argentite**: The formula for argentite is \( \text{Ag}_2\text{S} \), which is a sulfide, not an oxide. - **Cuprite**: The formula for cuprite is \( \text{Cu}_2\text{O} \), which is an oxide. - **Conclusion**: This statement is also incorrect because argentite is not an oxide. 3. **Option C**: "Zinc blend and galena are sulfides." - **Zinc Blend (Sphalerite)**: The formula for zinc blend is \( \text{ZnS} \), which is a sulfide. - **Galena**: The formula for galena is \( \text{PbS} \), which is also a sulfide. - **Conclusion**: This statement is correct. 4. **Option D**: "Malachite and azurite are minerals of copper." - **Malachite**: The formula for malachite is \( \text{Cu}_2\text{(OH)}_2\text{CO}_3 \), which is a copper carbonate. - **Azurite**: The formula for azurite is \( \text{Cu}_3\text{(OH)}_2\text{(CO}_3\text{)}_2 \), which is also a copper carbonate. - **Conclusion**: This statement is correct. ### Final Conclusion: The incorrect statements are **Option A** and **Option B**. However, since the question asks for one incorrect statement, we can conclude that **Option A** is the first incorrect statement identified. ### Answer: **Option A** is the incorrect statement. ---
