In 
, the tetrahedral molecule, two oxygen atoms are shared in.
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
C
In sheet silicates, three oxygen atoms of each tetrahedral are shared with adjacent 
tetrahedral. In chain silicates, two oxygen atoms are shared by each tetrahedral.
Double – chain silicates occur when tetrahedral form a double chain by sharing two or three oxygen atoms. In 3D silicates, each tetrahedral shares all the four oxygen atoms with its neighbours.
