In silicon dioxide
each silicon atom is surrounded by four oxygen atoms and each oxygen atom is bonded to two silicon atoms
each silicon atom is surrounded by two oxygen atoms and each oxygen atom is bonded to two silicon atoms
silicon atom is bonded to two oxygen atoms
there are double bonds between silicon and oxygen atoms
As we learnt in
Oxide of Silicon -
SiO2 form three dimensional network
- wherein
Due to lack of formation of with oxygen
Structure of SiO2 form 3-dimensional network.
