Detailed explanation-2: -Silicates-including quartz, mica, olivine, and precious minerals such as emeralds-are the most common class of minerals, as well as the major components of most rocks. Oxides, sulfides, sulfates, carbonates, and halides are other major mineral classes.
Detailed explanation-3: -Carbonates-Carbonates contain carbonate (CO3) combined with some other element. Halides-Halides contain a halogen element as the main element. Oxides-Oxides are minerals where the main element is oxygen. Sulfides-Sulfides contain sulfur and one or more metals or semimetals.
