Which two elements do oxygen and silicon contain?
Oxygen contain oxygen atoms and silicon contain silicon atoms.
How many atoms are in a silicon oxygen tetrahedron?
Four.
How many oxygen atoms combine with silicone atoms?
The compound silicon monoxide (SiO) has only two atoms; one silicon atom, one oxygen. The prefix "mono" tells you there is only one oxygen attached; "bi" or "di" (such as in silicon dioxide) would tell you there are two oxygens (for total of three, in that example).
What is Quartz is rich in which element?
Quartz consists of silicon and oxygen (2 times as many oxygen atoms than silicon atoms).
Which is not true of a single silicon- oxygen tetrahedron?
It has four silicon atoms.
Which two elements do oxygen and silicon contain?
Oxygen contain oxygen atoms and silicon contain silicon atoms.
How many silicon atoms are in a basic silicon-oxygen tetrahedron?
How many silicon atoms are in a basic silicon-oxygen tetrahedron?i am thinking about 4..
Are there more silicon atoms than oxygen atoms in the silicon-oxygen tetrahedron?
This is the SiO4 anionic group. Thus, the answer you need would be that there are more oxygen atoms.
How many atoms are in a silicon oxygen tetrahedron?
Four.
How many elements are in SiO?
SiO2 is a macromolecule. Each silicon atom is covalently bonded to four oxygen atoms and each oxygen atom is covalently bonded to two silicon atoms.
What is Quartz is rich in which element?
Quartz consists of silicon and oxygen (2 times as many oxygen atoms than silicon atoms).

Which is not true of a single silicon- oxygen tetrahedron?
It has four silicon atoms.
How many oxygen atoms are in a silicon oxygen tetrahendron?
4
How many non- bonding pairs in Si2O?
If you mean SiO2, which is a macromolecule- each silicon is bonded to 4 oxygen atoms and each oxygen to two silicon atoms. There are no non-bonding pairs of electrons on the on the silicon atom but ther are two on each oxygen atoms.
In a silicon-oxygen structural unit do silicon atoms occupy corners of a tetrahedron?
true
