non-silicate
These are types of chemical compounds. Halides contain halogen elements (e.g. chloride, fluoride), oxides contain oxygen, sulfates contain sulfate ions, sulfides contain sulfide ions, carbonates contain carbonate ions, and native elements are pure forms of elements (e.g. gold, silver).
The six classes of non-silicate minerals are carbonates, sulfides, sulfates, halides, native elements, and oxides. Each class is defined by the chemical composition and structure of the minerals within that group.
The three major groups of non-silicate minerals are carbonates, sulfates, and halides. Carbonates include minerals such as calcite and dolomite, sulfates include minerals like gypsum and barite, and halides include minerals such as halite (rock salt) and fluorite.
The most common mineral groups are silicates, carbonates, oxides, sulfides, and sulfates. Silicates make up the largest group of minerals and are composed of silicon and oxygen, often with other elements like aluminum, iron, or magnesium. Carbonates are minerals composed of carbon and oxygen bonded to a metal ion, such as calcite (CaCO3). Oxides contain oxygen bonded to a metal, like hematite (Fe2O3). Sulfides are minerals that contain sulfur bonded to a metal, such as galena (PbS). Sulfates are minerals containing a sulfate ion, such as gypsum (CaSO4 * 2H2O).
Silicates are the mineral group that contain silicon, carbonates are the mineral group that contain carbon, halides are the mineral group that contain halogen elements, and sulfides are the mineral group that contain sulfur. Each of these mineral groups encompasses a variety of minerals with different chemical compositions.
The major mineral groups are silicates, carbonates, sulfates, halides, oxides, sulfides, native elements, and phosphates. These groups are classified based on the chemical composition and structure of the minerals.
Sulfides, sulfates, carbonates, halides, phosphates, and hydroxides.

The most common rock forming mineral groups would be: silicates, carbonates, sulfates, sulfides, halides, and oxides.
The three major groups of non-silicate minerals are carbonates, sulfates, and halides. Carbonates include minerals such as calcite and dolomite, sulfates include minerals like gypsum and barite, and halides include minerals such as halite (rock salt) and fluorite.
The classes of mineral salts include carbonates, sulfates, silicates, halides, oxides, and sulfides based on their chemical composition. These classes are defined by the specific combination of elements within the mineral structure.
