Sheet silicates are known as phyllosilicates or layer silicates. They consist of silicon and oxygen atoms - 2 silicon atoms for each 5 oxygen atoms. Kaolinite and serpentine are examples of sheet silicates. Kaolinite also contains hydrogen and aluminum atoms while serpentine contains hydrogen and magnesium atoms.
