Question

Quartz is extensively used as a piezoelectric material, it contains .............. .
(a) Pb
(b) Si
(c) Ti
(d) Sn

Answer 1

Quartz is a continuous framework of SiO4.

So answer is - (b) Si

Answer 2

Answer:

Quartz contains (b) Si.

Explanation:

Quartz is the second most abundant mineral on Earth that mainly consists of silicon and oxygen to form a continuous tetrahedral structure of SiO4, with each of the oxygen atom being shared between two tetrahedral.

Quartz behaves as a piezoelectric material as it can allow the conduction of electricity when subjected to mechanical stress( squeezed).
