[SiO(4)]^(4-) has tetrahedral structure,...

`[SiO_(4)]^(4-)` has tetrahedral structure, the silicate formed by using the three oxygen has

A

sheet silicate

B

double-chain silicate

C

chain silicates

D

three-dimensional silicates

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
In sheet silicates, three oxygen atoms of eah tertrahedra are shared with adjacent `SiO_(4)^(4-)` tetrahedra. In chain silicates, two oxygen atoms are shared by each tetrahedra.

Dobule silicates occur when tetrahedra form a double chain by sharing two or three oxygen atoms. In 3D silicates, each tetrahedra share all the four oxygen atoms with its neighbours.
