Is halite clastic?
No, Silicate means containing Silica (Si). The formula for halite is NaCl, so it is non-silicate.
Is halite constructed of silica tetrahedra bonded by covalent bonds on three corners and an ionic bond on the remaining corner?
Halite is rock salt, NaCl, not a silicate. In the halite structure each sodium is surrounded octahedrally by 6 chloride ions, and each chloride is surrounded octahedrally by 6 sodium ions
What are Halite diamond and graphite are examples of?
Naturally occurring, commonly used minerals.
An example of an igneous rock low in silica is granite?
Granite is actually high in silica, which is why it is considered a felsic igneous rock. An example of an igneous rock low in silica is basalt, which is mafic in composition and contains less silica than granite.
