Asbestos [Ca Mg3O Si4O11] which is a type of amphibole

Asbestos $[C a M g_{3} O (S i_{4} O_{11})]$ which is a type of amphibole has a general structure as:

$S i O_{4}^{2 -}$

$S i O_{7}^{6 -}$

$(S i_{2} O_{5})_{n}^{2 n -}$

$(S i_{4} O_{11})_{n}^{6 n -}$

Please scroll down to see the correct answer and solution guide.

Right Answer is: D

SOLUTION

Amphiboles consists of double chains.

The parallel chains are held together by shared oxygen atoms. The metal ions again hold the chains together. The simple chains are linked through oxygen atoms so that half the tetrahedral share two oxygen atoms while the other half share three oxygen atoms.
