Here are the mineral groups corresponding to the numbers you've provided:

  1. Carbonate Minerals - Calcite, dolomite, and rhodochrosite are examples of carbonates.

  2. Silicate Minerals - Silicate minerals readily form silica tetrahedrons as their fundamental building block.

  3. Carbonate Minerals - Composed of one or more metallic elements with the carbonate compound CO3.

  4. Silicate Minerals - These minerals are composed of silicon, oxygen, and another element.

  5. Oxide Minerals - Compounds of oxygen and a metal fall into the oxide mineral category.

  6. Oxide Minerals - Magnetite and hematite are examples of oxides and important sources of iron.

  7. Silicate Minerals - Feldspar and quartz are the most common minerals within the silicate group.

  8. Carbonate Minerals - Limestone and marble are primarily composed of carbonate minerals (mostly calcite).
