Silicates

Silicates

Silicates are classified based on their crystal structures in different groups: Nesosilicate, Sorosilicate, Cyclosilicate, Inosilicate, Phyllosilicate and Tectosilicates

Non silicates

Non silicates

Non-silicates are divided into different groups based on their chemical composition, e.g., sulfides, sulfates, halides, carbonates, phosphates, oxides and hydroxides.
