WHAT DOES SILICATE MEAN IN ENGLISH?

silicate

Silicate

A silicate is a compound containing an anionic silicon compound. The great majority of silicates are oxides, but hexafluorosilicate and other anions are also included. This article focuses mainly on the Si-O anions. Silicates comprise the majority of Earth's crust, as well as the other terrestrial planets, rocky moons, and asteroids. Sand, Portland cement, and thousands of minerals are examples of silicates. "Orthosilicate" is the anion SiO44- or its compounds. Related to orthosilicate are families of anions with the formula 2n-. Important members are the cyclic and single chain silicates n and the sheet-forming silicates n. Silicate compounds, including the minerals, consist of silicate anions whose charge is balanced by various cations. Myriad silicate anions can exist, and each can form compounds with many different cations. Hence this class of compounds is very large. Both minerals and synthetic materials fit in this class.

Definition of silicate in the English dictionary

The definition of silicate in the dictionary is a salt or ester of silicic acid, esp one of a large number of usually insoluble salts with polymeric negative ions having a structure formed of tetrahedrons of SiO4 groups linked in rings, chains, sheets, or three dimensional frameworks. Silicates constitute a large proportion of the earth's minerals and are present in cement and glass.
