When each tetrahedron shares three of its oxygen atoms with other tetrahedra silicates form what?
This gives a sheet silicate. Examples of minerals with this structure include kaolinite and talc.
Which element combined with silicon to form tetrahedron?
oxygen
Which element combines with silicon to form the tetrahedron?
Oxygen
What is the noun of non silicate?
The noun non silicate (or non-silicate) is a common, concrete noun; a word for a type of mineral; a word for a thing. The noun non silicate is an uncountable (mass) noun as a word for a substance. The plural form non-silicates is reserved for 'types of' or 'kinds of'.
How are carbonate mineral different from silicate minerals?
Carbonate minerals contain carbon and oxygen in the form of the carbonate ion (CO3-), whereas silicate minerals contain silicon and oxygen in the form of various ions containing silicon and oxygen.
What is the building block silicate mineral?
The silicon-oxygen tetrahedron is the building block of silicate minerals. The word "silicate" means the compound contains silicon in some form.
The building blocks of the silicate minerals is what?
The silicon-oxygen tetrahedron is the building block of silicate minerals. The word "silicate" means the compound contains silicon in some form.
The building blocks of the silicate minerals is called the what?
Silicate tetrahedra. The tetrahedra are spanned by oxigen atoms, and right in the middle, there is a silicon atom. The chemical formula for one silicate tetrahedron is SiO4 The actual rate between silicon and oxigen can change as the tetrahedra are linked together, as different tetrahedra can share an oxigen atom with eachother.
When each tetrahedron shares three of its oxygen atoms with other tetrahedra silicates form what?
This gives a sheet silicate. Examples of minerals with this structure include kaolinite and talc.

How many flat surfaces form a tetrahedron?
Tetrahedron = Triangular PyramidAnswer = 4 (1 Base + 3 Sides)
Describe the six main crystalline structures of silicate minerals?
Isolated tetrahedra silicates do not link with other silicon or oxygen atoms Ring Silicates form by sharing oxygen atoms Single Chain Silicates form a chain when sharing oxygen atoms Double Chain Silicates form when two or more single chains of tetrahedra bond to each other Sheet Silicates form when each tetrahedron shares three of its oxygen atoms with other tetrahedra Framework Silicates form when each tetrahedron is bonded to four other tetrahedras :)
Which element combines with silicon to form the tetrahedron?
Oxygen

What is the element that combines with silicon to form a silicate?
Basically, silicate is (SiO2)n.SiO32- so the other element is Oxygen (remark: compare silicate with carbonate CO32- )
