Muscovite mica group list?

Your question is unclear. Muscovite is not a group name, but there are a number of polytypes, as listed by Fleischer's Glossary, 2008: -2M1, -1M, , and -2M2. The micas are divided into three main subgroups: true micas, brittle micas, and interlayer-deficient micas. These total about 44 species. There are also six incompletely investigated micas that are now considered to be series.

What is the relationship between the way in which silicon-oxygen tetrahedral bond in micas and the characteristic cleavage of micas?

The silicon-oxygen tetrahedral bonds in micas create a sheet structure with weak bonds between the sheets. This allows micas to cleave along these weak planes, resulting in their characteristic perfect basal cleavage.
