What are the four major silicate groups?
island silicates (0 shared oxygen) disilicates (1 shared) single chain silictes (2 shared) ring silicates (aka double chain silicates) (2 or 3 shared) sheet silicates (3 shared) framework silicates (4 shared)
Describe the six main crystalline structures of silicate minerals?
Isolated tetrahedra silicates do not link with other silicon or oxygen atoms Ring Silicates form by sharing oxygen atoms Single Chain Silicates form a chain when sharing oxygen atoms Double Chain Silicates form when two or more single chains of tetrahedra bond to each other Sheet Silicates form when each tetrahedron shares three of its oxygen atoms with other tetrahedra Framework Silicates form when each tetrahedron is bonded to four other tetrahedras :)
What is the most abundant mineral group in earths crust?
silicates
What are sheet silicates?
A structural type of silicate mineral in which flat sheets are formed by the sharing of three of the four oxygen atoms in each tetrahedron with neighboring tetrahedrons. Also known as layer silicate; sheet mineral; sheet silicate.
What are main types of silicate structures?
Isolated, Double chain, framework, single chain, and sheet

Which of these is a mineral silicate?
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.
How does the legal framework differ between private and public schools?
The legal framework differs between public and private schools. The main difference seen, is the separation of church and state.
When each tetrahedron shares three of its oxygen atoms with other tetrahedra silicates form what?
This gives a sheet silicate. Examples of minerals with this structure include kaolinite and talc.
