It's called a silicate mineral. The exact definition in my science book says: a mineral that contains a combination of silicon, oxygen, and one or more metals.

What is minerals that contain silicon and oxygen is called?
Minerals that contain silicon and oxygen are called silicates. Silicates make up the majority of the Earth's crust and are found in a wide variety of rock types, including quartz, feldspar, and mica.
What components do most minerals contain?
silicon and oxygen
What element do silicate minerals contain?
silicon and oxygen
What do silicate minerals contain?
They all contain the silicon-oxygen tetrahedron.
Minerals that contain the elements silicon and oxygen are called?
Minerals that contain the elements silicon and oxygen are called silicates. Silicates are the largest and most diverse class of minerals, making up over 90% of the Earth's crust. Examples of common silicate minerals include quartz, feldspar, and mica.
Minerals that contains the elements silicon and oxygen are called what?
The are forms of silicon dioxide or silicates.
Do non silicate minerals contain silicon?
Most likely not. Silicate minerals contain silicon in combination with oxygen. However, silicon itself is considered a non-silicate mineral, composed entirely of the element silicon; without the oxygen, however, it IS a non-silicate mineral.
What group of rocks forming minerals that contain silicon and oxygen?
silicates
Most minerals on earths surface contain which of the following?
silicon & oxygen.
Types of minerals that contain oxygen and silicon?
Silicate minerals are a group of minerals that contain oxygen and silicon as their primary constituents. Examples of silicate minerals include quartz, feldspar, mica, and amphibole. These minerals are the most abundant in the Earth's crust.
What are 2 types of minerals found in Earth's crust?
Two types of minerals found in Earth's crust are silicate minerals and nonsilicate minerals. Silicate minerals are the most abundant type and contain silicon and oxygen. Nonsilicate minerals do not contain silicon and oxygen in their chemical composition.
Does carbonate contain silicate?
No. A carbonate ion consists of carbon and oxygen. A silicate ion consists of silicon and oxygen.
