The building blocks of the silicate minerals is called the what?
Silicate tetrahedra. The tetrahedra are spanned by oxigen atoms, and right in the middle, there is a silicon atom. The chemical formula for one silicate tetrahedron is SiO4 The actual rate between silicon and oxigen can change as the tetrahedra are linked together, as different tetrahedra can share an oxigen atom with eachother.
What is the most common mineral found in rocks?
a common mineral in solid form starts with rock
What does the basic structure units of all silicate minerals consists of?
SiO2 is the basic building unit of silica.
