When rubidium reacts with oxygen to form an ionic compound how many ions does each metal lose?
Two ions are lost.
How many elements make sand?
The preponderance of the elements in sand are silicon or oxygen, with twice as many oxygen atoms as silicon atoms. In naturally occurring sand, some impurities with additional elements as iron are usually present in small amounts.
How many atoms per element in sulican dioxide?
The chemical formula of Silicon dioxide is SiO2. Two oxygen atoms are bond to a silicon atom. This compound has 3 atoms per molecule.
How many elements make up the majority of Earths continental crust?
Oxygen Silicon Sodium Potassium Magnesium Iron
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.
The building blocks of the silicate minerals is called the what?
Silicate tetrahedra. The tetrahedra are spanned by oxigen atoms, and right in the middle, there is a silicon atom. The chemical formula for one silicate tetrahedron is SiO4 The actual rate between silicon and oxigen can change as the tetrahedra are linked together, as different tetrahedra can share an oxigen atom with eachother.

How many silicon atoms are in a basic silicon-oxygen tetrahedron?i am thinking about 4..
How many negative ions does silicon have?
2
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.
How many oxygen atoms are in a silicon oxygen tetrahendron?

How many atoms are in a silicon oxygen tetrahedron?
Four.
How many silicon and oxygen atoms in silicon-oxygen?
"silicon-oxygen" is essentially meaningless. Silica contains silicon and oxygen in the proportion 1:2, so is sometimes called "silicon dioxide", but it doesn't exist in the form of individual SiO2 molecules; they're bonded to each other in a large network.
Where is quartz?
Quartz is the second most abundant mineral in the Earth's continental crust, after feldspar. It is made up of a continuous framework of SiO4 silicon--oxygen tetrahedra, with each oxygen being shared between two tetrahedra, giving an overall formula SiO2.There are many different varieties of quartz, several of which are semi-precious gemstones. Especially in Europe and the Middle East, varieties of quartz have been since antiquity the most commonly used minerals in the making of jewelry and hardstone carvings
What is Quartz is rich in which element?
Quartz consists of silicon and oxygen (2 times as many oxygen atoms than silicon atoms).
