What is the relationship between the way in which silicon-oxygen tetrahedral bond in micas and the characteristic cleavage of micas?
Mica share three oxygen atoms and link to form two dimensional sheet. Other ions fit between the sheets so they have cleavage in one direction and it occurs in books of very thin sheets
