  2. Silica cycle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silica_cycle

    The formation of silicate clays removes reactive silica from the pore waters of sediment, increasing the concentration of silica found in the rocks that form in these locations. [ 18 ] Silicate weathering also appears to be a dominant process in deeper methanogenic sediments, whereas reverse weathering is more common in surface sediments, but ...

  3. Silicate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silicate

    Depiction of a metasilicate chain, emphasizing the tetrahedral silicate subunits. Alternative depiction of a metasilicate chain emphasizing the Si-O bonds. With two shared oxides bound to each silicon, cyclic or polymeric structures can result. The cyclic metasilicate ring Si 6 O 12− 18 is a hexamer of SiO 3 2-.

  4. Category:Cyclosilicates - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Cyclosilicates

    Cyclosilicates are ring silicates which contain rings of linked SiO 4 tetrahedra. The Si:O ratio is 1:3. Three configurations can occur: the Si 3 O 9, ...

  5. Triple product rule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triple_product_rule

    Suppose a function f(x, y, z) = 0, where x, y, and z are functions of each other. Write the total differentials of the variables = + = + Substitute dy into dx = [() + ()] + By using the chain rule one can show the coefficient of dx on the right hand side is equal to one, thus the coefficient of dz must be zero () + = Subtracting the second term and multiplying by its inverse gives the triple ...

  6. Polyphosphate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polyphosphate

    For the linear chains, the end phosphorus groups share one oxide and the others phosphorus centres share two oxide centres. The corresponding phosphates are related to the acids by loss of the acidic protons. In the case of the cyclic trimer each tetrahedron shares two vertices with adjacent tetrahedra. Sharing of three corners is possible.

  7. Silicic acid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silicic_acid

    They are typically colorless weak acids that are sparingly soluble in water. Like the silicate anions, which are their better known conjugate bases, silicic acids are proposed to be oligomeric or polymeric. No simple silicic acid has ever been identified, since these species are primarily of theoretical interest.

  8. Silicon compounds - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silicon_compounds

    Soro-silicates, involving discrete double or triple tetrahedral units, are quite rare: metasilicates involving cyclic [(SiO n 3)] 2n− units of corner-abutting tetrahedra forming a polygonal ring are also known. [15] Chain metasilicates, {SiO 2− 3} ∞, form by corner-sharing of an indefinite chain of linked SiO tetrahedra. Many differences ...

  9. Cyclic succession - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyclic_succession

    Cyclic succession is a pattern of vegetation change in which in a small number of species tend to replace each other over time in the absence of large-scale disturbance. Observations of cyclic replacement have provided evidence against traditional Clementsian views of an end-state climax community with stable species compositions .
