Sulfides
One type of non-silicate mineral that consists of one or more elements combined with sulfur is sulfide minerals. These minerals contain sulfur combined with elements such as lead, iron, copper, zinc, or silver. Examples of sulfide minerals include pyrite (iron sulfide), galena (lead sulfide), chalcopyrite (copper-iron sulfide), and sphalerite (zinc sulfide).
A jar with sulfur and iron does not contain a compound, as compounds are made up of two or more different elements chemically combined in fixed ratios. Instead, the sulfur and iron would be considered a mixture of elements.
The element Suphur (Sulfur) is the only element which contains Sulphur (Sulfur) atoms.
Compounds combined with the element sulfur form sulfide minerals, which are a type of mineral that commonly includes minerals such as pyrite, galena, and chalcopyrite.
NO!!! Sulphur is an element, thereby does NOT contain anything else. Similarly Carbon is an element and does NOT contain anything else. However, these two elements can be mixed , when in powdered form, but NOT combined.
All materials and that includes minerals contain the elements. Sulfates contain sulfur and oxygen

Other elements can be associated or combined with in ores and compounds depending on the specific mineral or compound. For example, iron ores can contain elements like sulfur, silica, and phosphorus, while compounds like calcium carbonate can contain elements like calcium, carbon, and oxygen. These additional elements can affect the properties and behavior of the minerals or compounds.
No, not all minerals contain oxygen. Minerals are chemical compounds formed from different elements, so they can contain a variety of elements besides oxygen, such as carbon, sulfur, or metals like gold or silver. Oxygen is a common element in many minerals, but it is not a requirement for something to be classified as a mineral.
All minerals in the sulfate and sulfide groups contain sulfur.
Some minerals that contain both sulfur and oxygen include gypsum (CaSO4·2H2O), barite (BaSO4), and anglesite (PbSO4). These minerals are commonly found in sedimentary and hydrothermal environments.
Compounds combined with the element sulfur form sulfide minerals, which are a type of mineral that commonly includes minerals such as pyrite, galena, and chalcopyrite.

Mineral groups differ in composition based on the elements they contain and their crystalline structures. For example, silicate minerals contain silicon and oxygen, while sulfide minerals contain sulfur and metal ions. The ratio of elements and the way they are arranged in the crystal lattice determine the unique properties of each mineral group.
