It is probably due to conductivity. Not 100% Sure --Chetan
Antimony is an element, so it is neither silicate nor non-silicate
It's silicate.
It is a non silicate, I think?
Muscovite is a silicate mineral.
Yes, emerald is a silicate
The presence of silicon and oxygen.
Usually ceramics such as calcium silicate. If you mean the "traditional" material, that would be adobe.
Traditional ceramics include clay products, silicate glass and cement.Advanced ceramics consist of carbides (SiC), pure oxides (Al2O3), nitrides (Si3N4), non-silicate glasses and many others. Both are valued for their abrasion resistance, and hence find use in applications such as the wear plates of crushing equipment in mining operations. Advanced ceramics are also used in the medicine, electrical and electronics industries. Advanced ceramics are also referred to as "special," "technical," or "engineering" ceramics. They exhibit superior mechanical properties, corrosion/oxidation resistance, or electrical, optical, and/or magnetic properties.
Magnesium silicate may be used as a purifying absorbent in dry cleaning and animal and vegetable oils. It is also used as a filler paper, ceramics, and glass. It may also serve as an anti-caking agent and catalyst.
Clays
two types?I only know the 6 main types of clays used in ceramics which are: China clay (kaolin - silicate clay), Ball Clay,Fireclays, Earthenware clays, Stoneware clays,Porcelain clays..
Technically, glass is a kind of ceramic, but when most people talk about ceramics, they mean clay that has been made very hot to cause the particles to bond together, leaving little spaces between them. During this process, the crystal structure of the clay does not change, and the particles do not actually melt. Common silicate glass is made of silicon dioxide and some other minerals, and the process melts these minerals together into a non-crystalline structure. Silicate glass can be transparent, but clay ceramics are not. Ceramics that are not glazed or otherwise treated to make them waterproof can also absorb gas or liquid (like water) into the spaces between crystals.
non silicate
Flourite is a non-silicate
A silicate is a mineral which contains the element silica.
Peridot is olivine, which is a silicate.
Non-silicate.
