In chemistry, orthosilicate is the anion SiO 4− 4, or any of its salts and esters. It is one of the silicate anions. It is occasionally called the silicon tetroxide anion or group. [1] Orthosilicate salts, like sodium orthosilicate, are stable, and occur widely in nature as silicate minerals, being the defining feature of the nesosilicates. [2]
The name is also used for any salt of such anions, such as sodium metasilicate; or any ester containing the corresponding chemical group, such as tetramethyl orthosilicate. [1] The name "silicate" is sometimes extended to any anions containing silicon, even if they do not fit the general formula or contain other atoms besides oxygen; such as ...
Sodium silicate is a generic name for chemical compounds with the formula Na 2x Si y O 2y+x or (Na 2 O) x · (SiO 2) y, such as sodium metasilicate (Na 2 SiO 3), sodium orthosilicate (Na 4 SiO 4), and sodium pyrosilicate (Na 6 Si 2 O 7). The anions are often polymeric. These compounds are generally colorless transparent solids or white powders ...

Second, medical roots generally go together according to language, i.e., Greek prefixes occur with Greek suffixes and Latin prefixes with Latin suffixes. Although international scientific vocabulary is not stringent about segregating combining forms of different languages, it is advisable when coining new words not to mix different lingual roots.
Sodium orthosilicate is the chemical compound with the molecular formula Na 4 SiO 4. It is one of the sodium silicates, specifically an orthosilicate, formally a salt of the unstable orthosilicic acid H 4 SiO 4. [2] [3] [4]
