No quartz is a mineral.
Be more specific, what do you mean by quartz?: Are you talking about the quartz in side an atom? A unit of measurement? Or possibly a type of rock?

Quartz is two atoms of oxygen combined with one atom of silicon (SiO2).
Silicon combines with oxygen to make quartz. Quartz is composed of silicon dioxide (SiO2) molecules, where each silicon atom is bonded to four oxygen atoms in a repeating pattern.
The chemical formula for quartz is SiO2, which means it contains one silicon atom and two oxygen atoms per molecule.
Quartz is made up of a continuous framework of SiO4 silicon-oxygen tetrahedra, with each oxygen being shared between two Si-centered tetrahedra, giving an overall formula SiO2.So quartz has two Oxygen atoms to one Silicon atom.
Hexagonal. Trigonal Crystal System.
The bond between silicon and oxygen atoms in quartz is a covalent bond. In quartz, each silicon atom is bonded to four oxygen atoms in a tetrahedral structure, creating a strong and stable network of SiO4 tetrahedra. This arrangement gives quartz its unique crystal structure and properties.
Yes, quartz is a three-dimensional framework silicate. It is composed of silicon-oxygen tetrahedra linked in a continuous framework structure, where each silicon atom is bonded to four oxygen atoms. This arrangement gives quartz its characteristic hardness and crystal structure.
The chemical formula of silicon dioxide (quartz) is SiO2; The percentage of oxygen is 53,33 % and the percentage of silicon is 46,56 %.
SiO2 Please be a bit more precise. The composition of quartz is SiO2 which means that two atoms of oxygen share one atom of silicon. It can be described as "Silicon di-oxide," and as a result it forms long hexagonal crystals which may be surmounted with a six sided pyramid. On the Mhos scale of hardness it has a hardness of 7. Varieties of quartz include flint, amethyst, rose quartz etc. It also forms a massive variety which is often seen in metamorphic rocks, as a crystal in granites. In pure form it resembles clear glass. It has a conchoidal fracture.
No chemical formulas ever change. If there are different elements in a compound, it ceases to remain the same compound, and becomes a new compound.The chemical formula for quartz is SiO2. That is, always was, and always will be the chemical formula for quartz.
