Differences Between Sulfides And Oxides | Difference Between
Sulfides are minerals that contain sulfur. These minerals are inorganic compounds, which means that they are formed through geological rather than biological processes. These minerals are commonly found in soils with a higher temperature. Oxides are those minerals that contain oxide anions, or oxygen, with ice and quartz being the exceptions.
