Silicate ions contain silicon and oxygen. Silicate compounds usually contain at least one third element as a cation.

Calcite is non-silicate, containing no silicon elements.
Yes; that is implied by the name "silicate".
They are classified based on the structure of their silicate group. Silicate minerals all contain silicon and oxygen.
The elements are Silicon (Si) and Oxygen (O).
silicon and oxygen
silicate oxygen and quartz
Other elements
silicon and oxygen apex :p
They all contain the silicon-oxygen tetrahedron.
Non-silicate minerals contain oxygen and native elements. They have metallic and non-metallic lusters, and are very common.
Silicate minerals.
Silicate is literally Silicon and Oxygen. To be a silicate, therefore, a mineral must contain SiO2. The classic Silicate is Quartz, which is pure SiO2.
The two elements that must be present in a silicate are silicon and oxygen.

Gold is an element and as it does not contain any silicon it is therefore a non silicate.
No gold is not a silicate, because it does no contain oxygen and silicon.
