Answer» Correct Answer - A `(1)` In two dimensional sheet silicates, three oxygen atoms of `[SiO_(4)]^(4-)` are shared with adjacent tetrahedral `[SiO_(4)]^(4-)` units. `(2)` One oxygen atom is shared between two adjacent tetrahedra `,[SiO_(4)]^(4-)` `(3)` All four oxygen atoms are shared between adjacent tetrahedra, `[SiO_(4)]^(4-)`. `(4)` Two oxygent atoms are shared between adjacent between tetrahedra, `[SiO_(4)]^(4-)` forming a linear chain. |
