Silicate, Native Elements, Carbonates, Halides, Oxides, Phosphates, Sulfates, and Sulfides are the eight major mineral groups
metals and non-metals
you are steank okay
I only know the 2 main groups and they are called:SilicateNon-Silicats
Yes. Two major ones, and a number of minor groups. The two major groups are the conifers and the leaf trees, otherwise called, 'coniferous trees and deciduous trees'.
Silicates Minerals. Eg. Quartz (SiO2).
Silicates, Carbonates, and Oxides

The three major groups of rocks have several things in common. The mineral composition is the same and this is why they will all turn into each other at some point.
Non-silicate mineral groups include: oxides, carbonates, sulfides, sulfates, borates, halites, elemental, organic, and phosphates.

Petroleum is the major mineral export.
Not too sure about the eight groups. The seven major groups are based on stellar type, which is based on temperature. They are: O,B,A,F,G,K,M [See related question] There are sub divisions, but they are rare and not part of the major groups.
The most common mineral groups are: silicates, carbonates, sulfates, sulfides, halides, and oxides.
There are over four thousand different minerals. There are some major groups of minerals, which include groups such as oxides, silicates, carbonates, phosphates, borates, halides, sulfides, and native elements.
Groups of eight are often called 'octets'.
The major mineral mined in the USA would be, coal
