Final answer:
Mica is the only mineral in the given list that is a silicate mineral, so it is NOT a non-silicate mineral. Both calcium sulfate and halite (sodium chloride) are non-silicate minerals.
Step-by-step explanation:
The question asks which of the following is NOT a non-silicate mineral: a) Calcium sulfate b) Sodium chlorine c) Halite d) Mica. Non-silicate minerals are minerals that do not contain silicon and oxygen in their structure. Among the options listed, mica is the only mineral that is a silicate, which means it does contain silicon and oxygen in its structure, specifically in sheet-like arrangements. Therefore, mica is not a non-silicate mineral. To clarify:
Calcium sulfate (a) is a sulfate mineral.
Sodium chlorine seems to be a typographical error, but assuming it refers to sodium chloride, then halite (c), which is another name for sodium chloride, is a halide mineral.
Mica (d) is a silicate mineral and does not fit the category of non-silicate minerals.
