Which one is mixture carbon dioxide silicon silicon dioxide or sand?

Sand is a mixture of silicon dioxide and small amounts of other minerals, but silicon dioxide itself is a compound made of silicon and oxygen atoms. Carbon dioxide, on the other hand, is a separate compound made of carbon and oxygen atoms.


Is silica dioxide quartz organic?

No, silica dioxide (silicon dioxide) is not organic. Quartz is a mineral composed of silicon and oxygen atoms in a crystal structure and is not classified as organic because it does not contain carbon-hydrogen bonds.

Does silica contain carbon?

They do not normally. Their chemical formula is SiO2 (silicon dioxide). However, the different colours of quartz follow when there are impurities in the mineral, and so carbon could be an impurity which can cause a certain colour of quartz.


Is silica dioxide quartz an organic molecule?

No. It is neither organic nor a molecule. Silicon dioxide consists only of silicon and oxygen. By definition, an organic compound must contain carbon. Second, silicon dioxide forms a covalent network rather than molecules.
