Clay is not an element represented in the periodic system.
It is a mixture of different elements and molecules. Clay tends to be aluminum silicates (AlSi) with oxygen/oxides. Part of the molecule might include magnesium, sodium, calcium, and iron. Often there are ionic elements clinging to the silicates that give each instance of clay its unique characteristics.

What is the chemical formula of shale?
The chemical formula of shale is variable, as it is a sedimentary rock composed mainly of clay minerals, quartz, and other minerals. The general formula can be written as (Al,Si)3O10(OH)2, representing the presence of aluminosilicate clay minerals in shale.
What is the chemical formula of marl rocks?
Rocks haven't a chemical formula as chemical compounds.
Does a clay loam soil contain more clay or loam?
Lome is contained by equal amounts of sand, silt, clay, and organic matter.
What type of soil is used in pottery?
Soil, is not used in pottery, however clay, which is found in some soils is used to make pottery. Clay is the breakdown of feldspathic rock and has a chemical formula of Al2O3 2SIO2. That is one molecule of alumina and two molecules of silica
What is clay sand?
Clay sand is a type of soil composed of a combination of clay and sand particles. It is often found in areas where the two types of particles have mixed together naturally, resulting in a soil type that contains properties of both clay and sand. Clay sand can be challenging to work with because it tends to be compacted and has poor drainage.
What is the compound formula for clay?
Many types of clay are known; see the link below.
What is the formula for pencil lead?
The formula for pencil lead is a combination of graphite mixed with clay. The most common type contains graphite and clay in a ratio of approximately 80:20. The clay acts as a binder to hold the graphite together and determine the hardness of the lead.
Which is harder limestone or clay?
Limestone would be potentially harder until the clay is fired. The problem we have here is that "clay" is an ambiguous term. There is no homogenous or standard formula for clay. However, clays can generally be formed and baked to become set and hard. This is called firing. Fired clay tends to be quite hard, and depending on the formula, might be harder than limestone.
What is the chemical formula of shale?
The chemical formula of shale is variable, as it is a sedimentary rock composed mainly of clay minerals, quartz, and other minerals. The general formula can be written as (Al,Si)3O10(OH)2, representing the presence of aluminosilicate clay minerals in shale.
What is the chemical formula of marl rocks?
Rocks haven't a chemical formula as chemical compounds.
What would the density be for 1000g lump of clay with a volume of 500cm3?
To calculate the density of the clay, use the formula: density = mass/volume. Given that the mass is 1000 grams and the volume is 500 cm³, the density would be 1000g / 500cm³ = 2 g/cm³. Therefore, the density of the clay is 2 g/cm³.
What is the chemical element of lead?
The chemical symbol for lead (element) is Pb. THe formula is Pb2 Pencil lead however, is a mix of graphite and clay.
Where is terracotta clay found?
Terra Cotta Clay with Grog 25lb Terra cotta is a standard in the field of pottery and ceramics. A few basic variations in this formula, such as bentonite for plasticity and a fine mesh time-tested grog, are only two of the inert qualities. These unique qualities are found only in standard clay mines terra cotta.
What is the chemical formula for kieselguhr?
Kieselguhr is a type of clay used in the production of dynamite.
How do you make golem on doodle god?
clay and life
How you would measure the volume of a blob of clay?
One way, if the clay is malleable, is to reshape it into a cuboid and measure its length (L), width (W) and height (H). Then volume = L*W*H cubic units.Displacement methods will often not work either because the clay will absorb the water (or other solvent), or it might disintegrate.
Who was Cassius clay cousin of Henry Clay?
