It doesn't "look like" anything, because it's far too small to interact much with visible light. The overall shape is, well, a tetrahedron. If you don't know what a tetrahedron is, think about what a pyramid would look like if it had a triangular base instead of a square one and you'll be pretty close.
The silicon-oxygen tetrahedron in minerals like quartz has a net -4 charge because each oxygen ion contributes 2 negative charges, while silicon has a 4+ charge. This results in a net charge of -4 for the tetrahedron as a whole.
A tetrahedron diagram (a pyramid with a triangular base and three sides) is typically used to represent a silicon-oxygen tetrahedron. In this diagram, one vertex represents silicon and the three vertices connected to it represent oxygen atoms, showing the tetrahedral arrangement of the atoms in a silicon-oxygen tetrahedron.
The silicon-oxygen tetrahedron is the building block of most silicate minerals, consisting of a silicon atom surrounded by four oxygen atoms in a tetrahedral arrangement.
Four.
It has four silicon atoms.
How many silicon atoms are in a basic silicon-oxygen tetrahedron?i am thinking about 4..
There are 4 oxygen ions and 1 silicon ion in a silicon- oxygen tetrahedron.

A tetrahedron is 3-dimensional and so it looks just like an ordinary tetrahedron.
true
Four.
No, a silicon-oxygen tetrahedron is not a molecule. It is a structural unit found in silicate minerals, where a silicon atom is surrounded by four oxygen atoms to form a tetrahedral shape.
It has four silicon atoms.
A silica tetrahedron is composed of four atoms of oxygen bound to a central atom of silicon, with the formula of SiO4.
This arrangement is known as a silicon dioxide molecule. It forms a tetrahedral structure with the silicon atom at the center and the four oxygen atoms at the vertices of the tetrahedron. This structure gives rise to the mineral form of silicon dioxide known as quartz.
