Consider the statements below, discuss / explain each one
from them. If they are false / incomplete, indicate the necessary correction / corrections:

A. The basic unit in the construction of all minerals in the Carbonate Class is
the anionic complex (CO₃)-2. This complex forms tetrahedral structures characterized by strong covalent bonds.

B. Minerals belonging to the Sulfide Class (S^-2) and those belonging to the
Sulphate Class (SO₄)^-2 present many common characteristics depending on the resemblance to their anions.
