The number of corner of O -atom shared per tetrahedron in 3D-silicate is

Answer:
4
Solution:

In 3D silicates, each SiO₄⁴⁻ tetrahedron shares all four of its oxygen atoms with adjacent tetrahedra. This extensive sharing forms a continuous three-dimensional network, characteristic of minerals like quartz. Therefore, the number of oxygen atoms (corners) shared per tetrahedron is 4.
