Is silica an organic compound?
Silica IS a compound - silicon dioxide. Perhaps you mean silicates? silicones? other silicon compounds?
Is silica is organic?
Yes, which is why it reacts so little with the human body.
Is silica considered a mineral?
No. Silicon is the element. Silica is the compound silicon dioxide.
Is Al2o3 and silica the same thing?
No, Al2O3 is aluminum oxide, it occurs naturally as the mineral corundum. Silica is silicon dioxide or SiO2, it occurs naturally as the mineral quartz.
What is the silica content of quartz?
Silica is silicon dioxide, the most common component found in rocks and minerals. The composition of different types of magmas are assessed partly based on silica content, or the amount of silica in them. This content significantly affects how the lava behaves.
Is silica dioxide quartz organic?
No. Silicon dioxide, also called silica or, in mineral form quartz, contains only silicon and oxygen. By definition, and organic compound contains carbon.

Is onyx organic or inorganic?
it is made of silica and is inorganic
What is chemical formula of quartz?
Silica (silicon dioxide, SiO2)
Is silica dioxide quartz an organic molecule?
No. It is neither organic nor a molecule. Silicon dioxide consists only of silicon and oxygen. By definition, an organic compound must contain carbon. Second, silicon dioxide forms a covalent network rather than molecules.
Is quartz a mineral carbonite?
It is a mineral, but it is silica dioxide- SiO2
Is silica is organic?
Yes, which is why it reacts so little with the human body.
Silica is it an oil based product?
No. Silica, or silicon dioxide, is acquired from common sand. In nature it occurs as the mineral quartz.
Is silica considered a mineral?
No. Silicon is the element. Silica is the compound silicon dioxide.
Is hydrated silica inorganic?
Hydrated silica is an inorganic material.
What is another name for silicon dioxide?
You might mean either silica or quartz. Please see the link.
Does silica contain carbon?
They do not normally. Their chemical formula is SiO2 (silicon dioxide). However, the different colours of quartz follow when there are impurities in the mineral, and so carbon could be an impurity which can cause a certain colour of quartz.
