Which layer contains the chemicals called silicates​ -  Earth's crust.

Explanation:

  • As pure silicons are reactive in nature, they are combined with oxygen and other elements.
  • Those combined silicons are found in rocks, clays, sands, and soils.
  • The silicates are Aluminiu, Magnesium, Calcium, Sodium, Potassium, or Iron.
  • Almost 60% weight of these silicates is found in the Earth's crust.
  • Only 8% of the Earth's crust are non-silicate materials.
  • The Earth's crust is the Earth's hard outer layer. This layer is made up of different types of rocks, such as Igneous, Metamorphic, and Sedimentary.
