Non-Clastic, or chemical, sedimentary rock is formed from dissolved minerals. These rocks are made of chemical sediments that have been dissolved from minerals. Solid minerals precipitate out of the solution in water. These minerals layer, and the water above them causes the pressure which forms the rock.
chemical and/or non-clastic
A crystallized compound is formed.

hydrogenous sediment
Chemical sedimentary rocks form by precipitation of minerals from water. Precipitation is when dissolved materials come out of water. For example: Take a glass of water and pour some salt (halite) into it. The salt will dissolve into the water.
A vein of silver forms from a solution by vein minerals that form in fissures in the existing rock, either thru deposition by mineral saturated hydrothermal fluids, or injection of magma and subsequent cooling.
They would be referred to as chemical sedimentary rock.

Chemical Rock
rock's that forms when dissolved minerals fall out of solution, usually in water.
hydrogenous sediment
sedimentary rock that forms when minerals crystallize from a solution

Yes, by definition, because anything "dissolved" in a liquid forms a "solution".
The key is the sediments. ... Biochemical sedimentary rocks are formed from organic processes that involve living organisms producing the sediments. These living organisms can be snails and clams whose discarded calcium carbonate shells can form limestone.
Halite is an evaporite mineral, meaning it forms as a result of evaporation from concentrated liquid solutions containing dissolved minerals.
It is a Solution.
Mineral deposits are formed when ground water that contains dissolved minerals are cooled or has evaporated. Some of these mineral deposits are iron ions, magnesium, and calcium.
