Minerals can be classified into 13 groups according to their constituents. The major groups are: (1) native elements; (2) sulfides; (3) sulfosalts; (4) oxides and hydroxides; (5) halides and borates; (6) carbonates; (7) nitrates and iodates; (8) phosphates, vanadates, and arsenates; (9) sulfates; (10) tungstates and molybdates; and (11) silicates.
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.
•Two divisions-Major: Calcium, Sodium, Potassium, Chloride, Phosphorus, Magnesium, Sulfur-Trace: Selenium, fluoride, iron, chromium, manganese, iron, zinc, copper•Generally act as coenzymes for metabolic reactions
here are two kinds of minerals: metalic and non-metalic. metalic is made of metal, and non-metalic is not. the metalic characteristics are generally noticable. so putting it simply its either a metal or a rock
silicate minerals and nonsilicate minerals
There are several; sulphates, carbonates, nitrates and so on.
They are the silicate and non-silicate groups.
Silicate minerals are minerals that has a combination of silicon and oxygen. Non-silicate minerals are minerals that do not have a combination of silicon and oxygen.
They are divided into silicate and nonsilicate. I'm not sure if that's how you spell it though. Sorry if it's wrong! : )
Silicate and nonsilicate.
silicate: feldspar and mica non-silicate: halides and native gold

Rock forming minerals are subdivided into two groups, the mafic and felsic minerals according to the principal rocks types they mainly occur in.
to harden and make things and drilling tools
Deposition and erosion are two major processes by which a river changes the land. Erosion is the combination of weathering and deposition in which the water loosens and moves the land to another place.
what are the two major groups of minerals
nonsilicate and silicate minerals
nonsilicate and silicate minerals
silicate minerals and non silicate minerals
Carbonates and Oxides.
Silicates and non-silicates.
silicate: feldspar and mica non-silicate: halides and native gold
Two major nutrients that are supplied by the fruit and vegetable groups are vitamins, and fiber. Both are needed by the human body.
The two major groups are fungi and bateria
Two major groups are Catholics and Orthodox.
