All minerals in the sulfate and sulfide groups contain sulfur.
Neso-, soro-, cyclo-, ino-, phyllo- and tectosilicates are all the groups of silicate minerals.
Silicates
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.

what are the two major groups of minerals
silicate minerals and non silicate minerals
All minerals in the sulfate and sulfide groups contain sulfur.
nonsilicate and silicate minerals
Groups of eight are often called 'octets'.
There are four groups of 4 that will make eight groups of 2.
nonsilicate and silicate minerals
Neso-, soro-, cyclo-, ino-, phyllo- and tectosilicates are all the groups of silicate minerals.
