Passage / Comprehension

Consider the following silicate minerals. $Mg_{4} Si_{6} O_{15} (OH)_{2} \cdot 6 H_{2} O$ Pezzottaite → Cs( $Be_{2} Li_{2}) Al_{2} Si_{6} O_{18}$ Glaucophane → $Na_{2} Mg_{3} Al_{2} Si_{8} O_{22} (OH)_{2}$ Tanzanite → $Ca_{2} Al_{3} O (SiO_{4}) (Si_{2} O_{7}) (OH)$

Which mineral contains a silicate that has maximum amount of negative charge per silicon tetrahedron?

Options:

Answer:

Solution:

Sepiolite → Sheet silicate

Pezzottaite → 6 membered single ring silicate

Glaucophane → Double chain silicate

Tanzanite ⟶ Contains both orthosilicate and pyrosilicate

Orthosilicate has maximum negative charge per tetrahedron
