Name the type of the structure of silicate in which one oxygen atom of `[SiO_(4)]^(4-)` is shared

A

Three dimensional

B

Linear chain silicate

C

Sheet silicate

D

Pyrosilicate

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
In these two `SiO_(4)^(4-)` tetrahadral share a common oxygen island structure having formula `(Si_(2)O_(7))^(6-)`. These are also called island silicates.
