Describe the six main crystalline structures of silicate minerals?

Isolated tetrahedra silicates do not link with other silicon or oxygen atoms Ring Silicates form by sharing oxygen atoms Single Chain Silicates form a chain when sharing oxygen atoms Double Chain Silicates form when two or more single chains of tetrahedra bond to each other Sheet Silicates form when each tetrahedron shares three of its oxygen atoms with other tetrahedra Framework Silicates form when each tetrahedron is bonded to four other tetrahedras :)


What are the four major silicate groups?

island silicates (0 shared oxygen) disilicates (1 shared) single chain silictes (2 shared) ring silicates (aka double chain silicates) (2 or 3 shared) sheet silicates (3 shared) framework silicates (4 shared)


What do all silicate minerals have in common?

All silicate minerals are composed of silicon and oxygen atoms arranged in a tetrahedral structure. These tetrahedra can be linked together in various formations to create different silicate mineral groups, such as sheet silicates, framework silicates, and chain silicates. Silicate minerals are the most abundant group of minerals in the Earth's crust.


What are the six main types of crystalline structures in silicate materials?

The six main types of crystalline structures in silicate materials are framework silicates (e.g., quartz), sheet silicates (e.g., muscovite), chain silicates (e.g., pyroxenes), single tetrahedra (e.g., olivine), double tetrahedra (e.g., garnet), and ring silicates (e.g., beryl).


What is the structures of ethyl acetate and hexane?

The structure of ethyl acetate is CH3COOCH2CH3 - it consists of two carbons bonded together with an oxygen double bonded to one carbon and a single bond to an ethyl group. The structure of hexane is C6H14 - it is a straight-chain hydrocarbon with 6 carbon atoms and 14 hydrogen atoms, all the carbons are single bonded to each other forming a chain.

Double-chain silicates are formed when?

Chain silicates have interlocking chains of silicate tetrahedra. When adjacent tetrahedrons share either two oxygen's to continue the chain, or three oxygen atoms to connect also to a second chain, double chains are formed.

Which silicate mineral group has a double chain silicate?

A silicate mineral that shares it's oxygen atom with another silica tetrahedron, forming a chain of tetrahedra. Single chain silicates include a group called the pyroxenes.

What kind of fatty acid has only single bonds?

In saturated fatty acids are there only single bonds in the carbon chain.


What atoms are in ethanol and what are they?

Ethanol is a straight chain alcohol and its basic chemical composition is C2H5OH So, the atoms are carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen


How many hydrogen atoms are present in a hydrocarbon chain of five carbons joined to each other by single covalent bonds?

There would be 8 hydrogen atoms in a hydrocarbon chain with 5 carbon atoms joined by single covalent bonds. Each carbon atom forms 4 single covalent bonds, so each carbon would be attached to 2 hydrogen atoms. The first and last carbon atoms in the chain would each have 3 hydrogen atoms attached, and the middle carbon atoms would each have 2 hydrogen atoms attached.


How many atoms are in H3COCH3?

There are 14 atoms in H3COCH3: 3 hydrogen (H) atoms, 1 carbon (C) atom, and 3 oxygen (O) atoms in the main chain, plus 1 oxygen (O) atom connected to the carbon.
