This document is a 10 question quiz about different mineral groups. It asks about mineralogists, the basic structure of silicates which contain silicon and oxygen, examples of mineral groups like halides, oxides and carbonates. It also asks about the subgroups silicates can be divided into, how halide minerals form, common elements found in oxide and phosphate minerals, the difference between sulfides and sulfates, and identifying what mineral group a mineral would belong to based on its composition.
