Silicon forms a very large number of compounds containing SiO_(4)^(4-) anion as the basic unit. The structure of this basic unit is a tetrahedron in which oxygen atoms are arranged tetrahedral around a silicon atom. Which of the following type of silicate is represented in the mineral of Mg_(3)(OH)_(2)[Si_(4)O_(10)[ ?

Sum of the number of oxygen shared in between two silicon atoms in Si_(3)O_(9)^(6-) and Si_(3)O_(10)^(8-) is:

The number of oxygen atoms present in 20.4 g of Al_(2)O_(3) are equal to the number of :

Silicates are metal derivatives of silicic acid. Silicates are formed by heating metal oxide or metal carbonate with sand.

The silicons ae organosilicon polymers containing Si-O-Si linkage. They are usually prepared by hydrolysis of alkylchlorosilanes, the silanols formed as intermediates on hydrolysis condense by intermolecular elimination of water with the formation of Si-O-Si linkage To get the silicone of R_(3)Si-(O SiR_(2)_(n)-SiR_(3) , having 4 SiO-Si linkage, the unit taken is

Consider the following oxoacids of phosphorus : H_(3)PO_(4),H_(3)PO_(3) and H_(3)PO_(2) . All 'P' atoms in the oxoaxids and oxoanions are 4 corrdinate and contain at least one P = O unit. All 'P' atoms in oxoacids have at least one P-OH group which ionises to give H^(+) ion. The oxidation state of 'P' is +5 only when it is directly attached to 4 oxygen atoms. For every two units decrease in oxidation state of Phosphorus, there is one P-H bond. The number of acidic hydrogens present in one formula unit of each of NaH_(2)PO_(4), NaH_(2)PO_(3) and NaH_(2)PO_(2) are respectively:
