How many O - ...

Question

How many $O$ - atoms are shared per $S i O_{4}$ tetrahedral in silicate anion of beryl mineral?

Open in App

Solution

The chemical formula of beryl mineral is $B e_{3} A l_{2} S i_{6} O_{18}$ . The cyclic structure of $S i_{6} O_{18}^{12 -}$ is:

So the number of $O$ - atoms shared per $S i O_{4}$ tetrahedral in silicate anion of beryl mineral are 2.
