Carbokentbrooksite is a very rare mineral of the eudialyte group, [2] with formula (Na, ) 12 (Na,Ce) 3 Ca 6 Mn 3 Zr 3 NbSiO(Si 9 O 27) 2 (Si 3 O 9) 2 (OH) 3 (CO 3). H 2 O. [3] The original formula was extended to show the presence of cyclic silicate groups and silicon at the M4 site, according to the nomenclature of eudialyte group. [4]
Kentbrooksite is a moderately rare mineral of the eudialyte group, [2] with chemical formula (Na,REE) 15 (Ca,REE) 6 Mn 3 Zr 3 NbSi[(Si 9 O 27) 2 (Si 3 O 9) 2 O 2]F 2 ·2H 2 O. [3] This extended formula shows the presence of cyclic silicate groups and dominance of Si at the M4 site, according to the nomenclature of the eudialyte group. [4]
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-. Polymeric silicate anions of can exist also as long chains. In single-chain silicates, which are a type of inosilicate, tetrahedra link to form a chain by sharing two oxygen atoms each.
Feklichevite is a rare mineral of the eudialyte group with the formula Na 11 Ca 9 (Fe 3+,Fe 2+) 2 Zr 3 NbSi(Si 3 O 9) 2 (Si 9 O 27) 2. [3] [2] The original formula was extended to show the presence of cyclic silicate groups and presence of silicon at the M4 site, according to the nomenclature of eudialyte group. [4]
Zirsilite-(Ce) is a very rare mineral of the eudialyte group, with formula (Na, ) 12 (Ce,Na) 3 Ca 6 Mn 3 Zr 3 NbSi(Si 9 O 27) 2 (Si 3 O 9) 2 O(OH) 3 (CO 3)·H 2 O. [2] [3] The original formula was extended to show the presence of cyclic silicate groups and the presence of silicon at the M4 site, according to the nomenclature of the eudialyte group. [4]
A silicate mineral is generally an inorganic compound consisting of subunits with the formula [SiO 2+n] 2n−. Although depicted as such, the description of silicates as anions is a simplification. Balancing the charges of the silicate anions are metal cations, M x+. Typical cations are Mg 2+, Fe 2+, and Na +. The Si-O-M linkage between the ...
As a general rule, while saturated carbon is best attacked by nucleophiles that are neutral compounds, those based on nonmetals far down on the periodic table (e.g. sulfur, selenium, or iodine), or even both, silicon is best attacked by charged nucleophiles, particularly those involving such highly electronegative nonmetals as oxygen, fluorine ...
The cement chemist notation is not restricted to cement applications but is in fact a more general notation of oxide chemistry applicable to other domains than cement chemistry sensu stricto. For instance, in ceramics applications, the kaolinite formula can also be written in terms of oxides, thus the corresponding formula for kaolinite,
