Which two elements do oxygen and silicon contain?
Oxygen and Silicon are elements in their own right. They do NOT contain aanything else. However, Silicon and Oxygen can combine to form the molecule 'Silicon Dioxide' ( SiO2 ), of which is sand on the beach is an impure form, mixed with oxides of other elements.
How many silicon and oxygen atoms in silicon-oxygen?
"silicon-oxygen" is essentially meaningless. Silica contains silicon and oxygen in the proportion 1:2, so is sometimes called "silicon dioxide", but it doesn't exist in the form of individual SiO2 molecules; they're bonded to each other in a large network.
Is a silicon - oxygen bond polar?
A silicon-oxygen bond is considered polar due to the difference in electronegativity between silicon and oxygen. Oxygen is more electronegative than silicon, causing a partial negative charge on oxygen and a partial positive charge on silicon.
What is the largest family of minerals that contain both the elements silicon and oxygen in them?
The largest family of minerals that contain both silicon and oxygen is the silicates. Silicates make up over 90% of the Earth's crust and are characterized by their structure of silicon-oxygen tetrahedra linked together to form various mineral structures. Examples of silicate minerals include quartz, feldspar, and mica.
What is the constituent element of silicon dioxide?
Silicon dioxide is composed of silicon and oxygen atoms in a 1:2 ratio. It is a common mineral found in many forms, including quartz and sand.
What group includes minerals with the silicon oxygen stretcher?
There is one group that silicon and oxygen fall into. Silicate is the name of the group that both fall under.
How many oxygen ions and silicon ions are in a silicon oxygen tetrahedron?
There are 4 oxygen ions and 1 silicon ion in a silicon- oxygen tetrahedron.
Silicates are what?
-ate in this case means Oxygen - so these are compounds that contain both Silicon and Oxygen: SiO2.
Which two elements do oxygen and silicon contain?
Oxygen and Silicon are elements in their own right. They do NOT contain aanything else. However, Silicon and Oxygen can combine to form the molecule 'Silicon Dioxide' ( SiO2 ), of which is sand on the beach is an impure form, mixed with oxides of other elements.
What element are sand and quartz made from?
Both sand and quartz are made of the elements silicon and oxygen.
How many silicon atoms are in a basic silicon-oxygen tetrahedron?
How many silicon atoms are in a basic silicon-oxygen tetrahedron?i am thinking about 4..
How many elements are in SiO?
SiO2 is a macromolecule. Each silicon atom is covalently bonded to four oxygen atoms and each oxygen atom is covalently bonded to two silicon atoms.
How many silicon and oxygen atoms in silicon-oxygen?
"silicon-oxygen" is essentially meaningless. Silica contains silicon and oxygen in the proportion 1:2, so is sometimes called "silicon dioxide", but it doesn't exist in the form of individual SiO2 molecules; they're bonded to each other in a large network.
Is a silicon - oxygen bond polar?
A silicon-oxygen bond is considered polar due to the difference in electronegativity between silicon and oxygen. Oxygen is more electronegative than silicon, causing a partial negative charge on oxygen and a partial positive charge on silicon.
What are the two most common elements in the earths crust?
One is silicon, but I don't know the other:(oxygen
What element is compound with silicon?
One example is oxygen. Oxygen combines with silicon to form silicon dioxide, SiO2.
What is the largest family of minerals that contain both the elements silicon and oxygen in them?
The largest family of minerals that contain both silicon and oxygen is the silicates. Silicates make up over 90% of the Earth's crust and are characterized by their structure of silicon-oxygen tetrahedra linked together to form various mineral structures.
