Read the following message passage and answer the followed by is silicates are a group of minerals which have general formula `SiO_(2)` the most common of which is quartz. Quartz is a frame work silicate with `SiO_(4)` tetrahydra arranged in spirals. The spirals can turn in clockwise or anticlork wise direction a feature that result in there being two mirror images optically active varities of quartz
The following represents various silicate anions . Their formulae are respectively

A

`SiO_(3)^(2-),SiO_(7)^(2-)`

B

`SiO_(4)^(4-),Si_(3)O_(10)^(8-)`

C

`SiO_(4)^(2-),Si_(3)O_(9)^(2-)`

D

Which of the following compound is optically active ?

Read the following passage and answer the questions followed by is silicates are a group of minerals which have the general formula SiO_(2) , the most common of which is quartz. Quartz is a frame work silicate with SiO_(4) , tetrahydra arranged in spirals. The spirals can turn in clockwise or anticlock wise direction a feature that results in there being two mirror images opticlaly active varities of quartz. The silicate anion in the mineral kinoite is a chain of three SiO_(4) , tetrahedra that share coners with adjacent tetrahedra. The mineral also contain Ca^(2+),Cu^(2+) ions and water molecules in 1 : 1 : 1 ratio. The mineral is represented as
