tektosilikaatidele
Tektosilikaatidele refers to the silicate minerals that form a continuous three-dimensional framework of SiO4 tetrahedra. In this structure, every oxygen atom is shared by two silicon atoms, resulting in a Si:O ratio of 1:2. This tetrahedral framework is the fundamental building block of tektosilikaatidele, which are the most abundant mineral group in the Earth's crust.
The defining characteristic of tektosilikaatidele is the presence of interstitial cations that balance the overall negative
Common examples of tektosilikaatidele include quartz (SiO2), feldspars (such as orthoclase, albite, and anorthite), and feldspathoids.
