What are the three major groups of non silicate minerals?
Non-silicate mineral groups include: oxides, carbonates, sulfides, sulfates, borates, halites, elemental, organic, and phosphates.
Name the major groups of minerals and give at least two examples of minerals in each group?
silicate: feldspar and mica non-silicate: halides and native gold
Is soil a colloid?
Yes, soil is a colloid. There are four major types of colloids: crystalline silicate, non-crystalline silicate, oxide clays, and humus.
What is the grouping of silicate and non-silicate minerals based on?
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 SILICATE group of minerals?
Neso-, soro-, cyclo-, ino-, phyllo- and tectosilicates are all the groups of silicate minerals.
