A) pyro silicate
B) sheet silicate
C) linear chain silicate
D) three dimensional silicate
Correct Answer: B
Solution :
All silicates have tetrahedral \[SiO_{4}^{4-}\] ion, as a basic building unit i.e. all silicates are composed of many units. Tetrahedral shape of \[{{\left[ Si{{O}_{4}} \right]}^{4-}}\] ion is due to \[s{{p}^{3}}-\]hybridisation of Si-atom. Sheet Silicates are formed when three oxygen atoms (bridging O-atoms) of each \[{{(Si{{O}_{4}})}^{4-}}\]unit are shared.You need to login to perform this action.
