Linked from

The 13 pages that link to Silicon–oxygen tetrahedron, each with the reason it gives.

• Silicate mineralBroader topic: This is the fundamental unit from which silicate mineral structures are assembled.

• Silicon dioxideBroader topic: These units link together to form the extended structures of most silica minerals and glasses.

• PyroxeneBroader topic: These units link into the single chains that define pyroxene structure.

• AluminosilicateBroader topic: Its linked forms provide the framework of most aluminosilicates.

• PhyllosilicateBroader topic: Sharing oxygen atoms between tetrahedra produces the sheets characteristic of this mineral class.

• AmphiboleBroader topic: Linked tetrahedra form the chains that define amphibole structure.

• InosilicateBroader topic: Inosilicate chains form when neighboring tetrahedra share oxygen atoms.

• FayaliteBroader topic: These isolated units link fayalite’s iron-bearing polyhedra into a crystal structure.

• Tectosilicate frameworkBroader topic: Every tetrahedron in a tectosilicate shares all four of its oxygen corners with neighboring tetrahedra.
