Question

give the structure and bonding of silicates​

Answer 1

Answer:

The basic building block, the structural unit, of silicate minerals is the SiO44- tetrahedron. In the SiO44- tetrahedron each Si atom is covalently bonded to 4 oxygen atoms. ... The tetrahedra can link together by sharing corners resulting in Si-O-Si covalent bonds. A number of different structures are therefore possible.
