Chemicals for making common glass are Silica (silicon dioxide, the glassy part), and Sodium Carbonate (Soda Ash), lowers the melting point.

How is a mineral different from a rock?

A rock is a solid object made up of many minerals. If you imagine a pizza for a moment...the pizza is a rock. It is made up of different things, like cheese, and pepperoni, and sauce, and crust.
