One common method of classifying minerals is by their basic group, thus silicates, carbonates, sulfides, phosphates, and so on. Thus you may have a copper
carbonate, a silicate, a sulfide and so on.

What is halides oxides sufates sulfides carbonates and native elements are blank minerals?
Nonsilicate
Give four types of nonsilicate minerals?
The four types of non silicate minerals are Copper,Galena,Calcite,and Gypsum.
Is Lead a silicate or nonsilicate mineral?
Lead in pure form is a metal. Lead-ore will probably contain silicate minerals, however, the lead itself is not a silicate mineral.
Are sulfates and sulfides types of nonsilicate minerals?
Gypsum is not a silicate it is a sulfate. Gypsum is a very soft mineral composed of calcium sulfate dihydrate, with the chemical formula CaSO4·2H2O

How are silicate minerals different from non-silicate mineral?
Silicate minerals are can make up more than 90 percent of the earth's crust, the rest is made up of nonsilicate minerals, 10 percent.

Nonsilicate
What is the difference between silicate and nonsilicate mineral?
Non-silicate minerals don't contain silicon and oxygen in tandem; silicate minerals do.
Why do minerals that have the nonsilicate crystalline structure called closest packing have high density?
Minerals of a nonsilicate crystal have very high densities because their crystal structures are based on the packing of atoms that are as close together as possible. This structure is called this closest packing.
