Carbonate minerals contain carbon and oxygen in the form of the carbonate ion (CO3-), whereas silicate minerals contain silicon and oxygen in the form of various ions containing silicon and oxygen.
The are forms of silicon dioxide or silicates.
Oxygen contain oxygen atoms and silicon contain silicon atoms.
Minerals containing silicon and oxygen are most generally known as silicates.
silicates
These are the building blocks of silicates.
minerals that contain silicon and oxygen.
They all contain the silicon-oxygen tetrahedron.

silicates
Most likely not. Silicate minerals contain silicon in combination with oxygen. However, silicon itself is considered a non-silicate mineral, composed entirely of the element silicon; without the oxygen, however, it IS a non-silicate mineral.
