In geology a silicate is a mineral that contains silicon and oxygen and sometimes other elements.
In chemistry, a silicate is a compound that contains the silicate (SiO32-) ion.
No. A carbonate ion consists of carbon and oxygen. A silicate ion consists of silicon and oxygen.
Silicate minerals.
The silicon-oxygen tetrahedron is the building block of silicate minerals. The word "silicate" means the compound contains silicon in some form.
The name of the molecular compound with the formula S2O3 is thiosulfate.
No. They may be similar in some ways, but they definitely aren't the same thing. Among other differences, sodium silicate is soluble in water and aluminum silicate is not. (Both of them are actually metasilicates, not true silicates.)
Hornblende has a double chain silicate structure. This structure consists of pairs of linked tetrahedra that form continuous chains in two dimensions.
The chemical name for K2SiO3 is potassium metasilicate. It is a type of silicate compound with potassium cations and the metasilicate anion SiO3^2-.
The silicon-oxygen tetrahedron is the building block of silicate minerals. The word "silicate" means the compound contains silicon in some form.
No, potassium silicate and potassium aluminum silicate are two different compounds. Potassium silicate is a compound composed of potassium, silicon, and oxygen, while potassium aluminum silicate contains potassium, aluminum, silicon, and oxygen. They have different chemical compositions and properties.
K4SiO4 is potassium silicate, a compound commonly used in the manufacturing of ceramics, glass, and as a fertilizer. It is known for its high thermal stability and resistance to chemical attack.
no beryllium aluminium silicate is not an element. It is one of the beryllium compounds.
Sodium silicate is an inorganic salt.
