There are more than 2 groups of minerals. The following groupings exist based on their chemical composition:
Silicates have to have SiO4, and nonsilicates don't.
Canada is divided into provincial groups. Those groups are the Eastern Provinces, The Heartland,the Western Provinces and The Canadian North.
There are three main groups: Igneous, Sedimentary, and Metamorphic.
Rock forming minerals are subdivided into two groups, the mafic and felsic minerals according to the principal rocks types they mainly occur in.

mineral is a naturally occurring solid chemical substance formed through biogeochemical processes, having characteristic chemical composition, highly ordered atomic structure, and specific physical properties. By comparison, a rock is an aggregate of minerals and/or mineraloids and does not have a specific chemical composition. Minerals range in composition from pure elements and simple salts to very complex silicates with thousands of known forms.[1] The study of minerals is called mineralogy.Contents[hide] 1 Mineral definition and classification2 Crystal structure 2.1 Mineral groups and solid solution3 Differences between minerals and rocks 3.1 Mineral composition of rocks4 Physical properties of minerals5 Chemical properties of minerals 5.1 Silicate class5.2 Carbonate class5.3 Sulfate class5.4 Halide class5.5 Oxide class5.6 Sulfide class5.7 Phosphate class5.8 Element class5.9 Organic class6 See also7 References8 External links
Minerals are divided into many more than two groups based on their chemical composition. The broadest divisions of the classification used in the present discussion are (1) native elements, (2) sulfides, (3) sulfosalts, (4) oxides and hydroxides, (5) halides, (6) carbonates, (7) nitrates, (8) borates, (9) sulfates, (10) phosphates, and (11) silicates.
They are divided into puddingstone and somipone. Puddingstone is made of tiny minerals but somipone is made up of HUGE minerals.
industrial minerals or building materials
I dont know!! sorry
metals & non-metals
The property is their chemical formula.
Nutrients are divided into six general groups. These nutrients include carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, fat, vitamins, minerals, as well as water.
Nutrients are divided into six general groups. These are carbohydrates, proteins, minerals, vitamins, water and fats. A healthy diet would incorporate each of these food groups, limiting fat and carbohydrate intake.
Flowering plants are divided into three groups: monocots, eudicots, and tricots
The grouping of silicate and non-silicate minerals is based on whether they contain silicon and oxygen. Silicate minerals are divided into smaller groups based on their structure. Non-silicate minerals are didvided into smaller groups based on their composition.
They are carbohydrates, proteins, fats/oils, vitamins/minerals, and fiber. 5 in total.
Minerals are grouped by their chemical composition. There are more than 3 groups of minerals including. Silicates, oxides, sulfates, sulfides, carbonates, native elements, and halides are all major mineral groups. Silicates are definitely at the top of the list.
