piihappiryhmät
Piihappiryhmät refers to a chemical concept related to silicon and oxygen bonding within inorganic compounds. It broadly encompasses molecules or structural units where silicon atoms are covalently bonded to oxygen atoms, forming a fundamental building block for a vast array of materials. These groups are central to the chemistry of silicates, which are a major class of minerals found in the Earth's crust.
The basic unit of many piihappiryhmät is the orthosilicate ion, [SiO4]4-, where a central silicon atom is
Examples of materials built upon piihappiryhmät include quartz, feldspars, and micas. The diversity of these structures
