Halides and Sulfides
Halides • Only 140 known species • F, Cl, Br, I as large anions • Strong, nearly exclusively ionic bonds • Gridwork, not discrete molecules • Generally isometric structure and form • Fairly low hardness • Many are water-soluble • Conductive via electrolysis (transport of ions), not by electron transport
Halite (Na. Cl) Structure • Fundamentally defined by the formula AX, in which A is a cation with an equal and opposite charge to X, an anion. • There is an equal number of cations and anions, equally balancing charges
Halite (Na. Cl) Structure • Cations and anions occupy octahedral sites [CN = 6] – RA : RX = 0. 41 – 0. 73
Halite (Na. Cl) Structure • Examples: – Halide Minerals: • Li. F, Li. Cl, Li. Br, Li. I • Na. F, Na. Cl, Na. Br, Na. I • KF, KCl, KBr, KI • Rb. F, Rb. Cl, Rb. Br, Rb. I – Oxide Minerals • Mg. O, Ca. O, Sr. O, Ba. O, Ni. O Sylvite - KCl Periclase - Mg. O – Sulfides • Mg. S, Ca. S, Mn. S, Pb. S Galena - Pb. S
Halite – Na. Cl • Abundant just about everywhere • Precipitates commonly found with gypsum, sylvite, anhydrite and calcite • Isometric habit, cubic cleavage • Obvious use as salt, but also used as ore for both sodium metal and chlorine gas
Sylvite – KCl • Precipitates commonly found with gypsum, halite, anhydrite and calcite, but as a very late precipitate • Distinctly bitter taste • Isometric habit, cubic cleavage • In N. Am. , found in SW US and Saskatchewan, Canada • Common use in fertilizers

Cryolite – Na 3 Al. F 6 • Monoclinic: 2/m • Crystals are rare • Hardness: 2 ½ • Colorless-to-white • Powdered cryolite will disappear when submerged in water
Cryolite – Na 3 Al. F 6 • Critical use processing Al-ore into pure metal • Used to be mined from a large deposit in Ivigtut, Greenland, now depleted – Only mineral to be mined to the point of commercial extinction
Atacamite – Cu 2 Cl(OH)3 • Orthorhombic – 2/m 2/m • Hardness = 3 - 3 ½ • Found only in extremely arid, copper-enriched regions – Chile, Australia, and Arizona • Used as a minor copper ore – Copper-concentration makes it one of the very few stronglycolored halide minerals
Sulfides (and arsenides) • Dominant ion is S 2 • Includes most metallic ore minerals • Most are opaque • Commonly have diagnostic streaks – like some oxides • Ionic and covalent bonding, even some metallic bonding Common structure types include sphalerite (Zn. S) and Halite (Na. Cl)
Sphalerite (Zn. S) Structure • Fundamentally defined by the formula AX, in which A is a cation with an equal and opposite charge to X, an anion. • There is an equal number of cations and anions, equally balancing charges
Sphalerite (Zn. S) Structure • Cations and anions occupy tetrahedral sites [CN = 4] – RA : RX = 0. 32
Sphalerite (Zn. S) Structure • Each tetrahedral site shares corners with three bordering tetrahedra of the same type
Sphalerite (Zn. S) Structure • Structure also shared (in a way) with diamond • C 4+ and C 4 bonding with only tetrahedral sites
Sphalerite (Zn. S) Structure • Examples: – Sulfide Minerals: • Zn. S, Cu. Fe. S 2 – Silicon Carbide (Si. C) Sphalerite - Zn. S – Diamond Chalcopyrite – Cu. Fe. S 2 Diamond - C
Sphalerite– Zn. S • Isometric mineral: 43 m • Structure is based around four-fold coordination of both cations and anions • Unique dodecahedral {011} cleavage • Distinctive range of yellow-brown streaks • Low-T polymorph vs. high-T structure: Wurtzite • Typically used as zinc ore
Chalcopyrite – Cu. Fe. S 2 • Tetragonal: 42 m • Structure is derived from Zn. S structure, but in a doublestack, with Cu-based and Febased unit cells alternating • Most-abundant copperbearing mineral – used as ore • Common igneous and hydrothermal mineral
Halite (Na. Cl) Structure • Cations and anions occupy octahedral sites [CN = 6] – RA : RX = 0. 41 – 0. 73 • Sulfide Examples: – Galena (Pb. S) – Pyrite (Fe. S 2)

Chalcocite – Cu 2 S • Monoclinic, Pseudo-orthorhombic: 2/m or m below 105°C • Distinct crystals are quite rare – Tabular habit when observable – Usually fine-grained or massive • Hexagonal packing of sulfur atoms at low-T – High-T form, high chalcocite, allows structural gaps to be filled • Crucial copper ore mineral
Bornite– Cu 5 Fe. S 4 • Tetragonal: 42 m • Usually massive, rarely pseudocubic crystals • Extensive solid-solution within Cu-Fe-S system • Known for its purple-blue-green tarnish – Peacock ore
Molybdenite – Mo.

Cinnabar – Hg. S • Hexagonal: 32 • Typically rhombohedral, prismatic or massive • Completely unique structure of Hg-S-Hg spiral chains along c-axis • Frequently includes impurities of clay and bitumen, and Fe-oxide • Highest-density common rock-former: SG = 8. 1, but a very low hardness, like Galena: 2 - 2 ½
Stibnite – Sb 2 S 3 • Orthorhombic: 2/m 2/m • Classic form is elongate, striated (along {100}) prisms, often radiating • Strong {010} cleavage • Zig-zagging chains of closely-bonded Sb and S atoms in highly-distorted polyhedra parallel to c-axis • Classic locality, Iyo, Japan, has been depleted • Found in low-temperature hydrothermal veins, and with other antimony minerals formed by decomposition of the stibnite
Realgar – As. S Orpiment – As 2 S 3 • Both are monoclinic: 2/m • Realgar forms in ringlike groups of As 4 S 4, like S 8 – Each As bonds to two sulfurs, and to another As • In Orpiment, trigonal As. S 3 pyramids link corners to make six-member, corrugated rings, As 2 S 3 • Both were used in pigments until their poisonous nature was widely recognized
