Class will not meet today - Ron is away at the Fine International Conference on Gigapixel Imaging for Science in Pittsburgh, PA today.
Below you will find the lecture notes that go with today's podcast. Review them during class time (or the soonest time covenient to you).
Themes of the Day:
- The SiO4 Tetrahedron, Polymerization, and the Silicate Subclasses
The SiO4 Tetrahedron, Polymerization, and the Silicate Subclasses
- The Silica Tetrahedron - three views
- Polymerization - bridging vs. non-bridging oxygens
- Linking Silica Tetrahedra
- Silicate Subclasses:
- Island Silicates = Orthosilicates = Nesosilicates
- Bow Tie Silicates = Disilicates = Sorosilicates
- Ring Silicates = Cyclosilicates
- (Single/Double) Chain Silicates = Inosilicates
- Sheet Silicates = Phyllosilicates
- Framework Silicates = Tectosilicates
- Z:O ratio - see Table 11.1 - Consider the relationship to Bowen's Reaction Series
- Examples - see Table 11.2
