How are carbonate mineral different from silicate minerals?
Carbonate minerals contain carbon and oxygen in the form of the carbonate ion (CO3-), whereas silicate minerals contain silicon and oxygen in the form of various ions containing silicon and oxygen.
How does an silicon become a Si4 ion?
balls
What is the form of silicon?
In pure form Silicon is a solid.
Which atoms is least likely to form an ion fluorine magnesium silicon sodium?
Silicon. Magnesium and sodium are metals and readily lose electrons to form cations, Mg2+ and Na+. Fluorine readily gains an electron to form the anion F-. Silicon on the otherhand in group 14 would need to gain 4 or lose 4 electrons to achieve the octet.
Does carbonate contain silicate?
No. A carbonate ion consists of carbon and oxygen. A silicate ion consists of silicon and oxygen.

Why do boron carbon and silicon not form simple ions?
Well I know why Carbon and silicon do not form simple ions. It is becasue if the were to form a ion they could either get 4 electrons or lose 4 electrons. Neither is easier so they just stay the same.

How many oxygen ions and silicon ions are in a silicon oxygen tetrahedron?
There are 4 oxygen ions and 1 silicon ion in a silicon- oxygen tetrahedron.
What does SiF6 mean?
SiF6 stands for silicon hexafluoride, but it can only exist as an ion, therefore its correct symbol is SiF62- (silicon hexafluoride ion) and it has an octahedral molecular shape

What is the form of silicon?
In pure form Silicon is a solid.
In what form is silicon found?
silicon is found in solid form as silicon dioxide (SiO2).
Does carbonate contain silicate?
No. A carbonate ion consists of carbon and oxygen. A silicate ion consists of silicon and oxygen.
Why does silicon form covalent bonds?
Silicon is most likely to form covalent bonds because it has four valence electrons and will share electrons rather than give them away.
How many oxygen ions and silicon ions are in a silicon oxygen tetrahedra?
The ion at the center of a silicate tetrahedron is surrounded by?
What element can combine with silicon to make a compound?
One atom that can form a bond with silicon is oxygen, to form silicon dioxide, SiO2.
