A mineral is the basic building block of which all rocks are composed. Consider them to be the ingredients of a cake: the minerals being the flour, eggs and sugar etc. and the rock being an aggregate (collection/formation) of those minerals.
To put it simply, 'clastic' means that the sedimentary rock is deposited from 'recycled' previous rock, 'organic' means that it is sedimentary rock derived from some form of life - plants or animals, and 'chemical' means that it has precipitated out of water through evaporation or through chemical interaction of two different bodies of water.
