Question
assuming that the mineral in this video smells like rotten eggs, what mineral are you looking at?
magnetite
halite
graphite
sulfur
calcite
To determine the mineral, we analyze the properties: the mineral in the video has a yellow appearance and smells like rotten eggs (a characteristic of sulfur, as sulfur emits a rotten - egg - like smell when it undergoes certain reactions or is disturbed). Magnetite is magnetic and has a different appearance and smell. Halite is salt (sodium chloride) and has a salty taste and a different smell. Graphite is black and is used in pencils, with no rotten - egg smell. Calcite has different physical and chemical properties and no such smell. So the mineral is Sulfur.
