What is the other name of an equilateral pyramid?
A tetrahedron.
What is other name for triangular pyramid?
tetrahedron
Is cone a tetrahedron?
No, a cone is not a tetrahedron. A cone is a three-dimensional geometric shape with a circular base and a pointed vertex. A tetrahedron, on the other hand, is a four-sided polyhedron with triangular faces.
What is a isosceles tetrahedron?
A tetrahedron ABCD is isosceles if AB=BD, AC=BD, and AD=BC. In other words, in an isosceles tetrahedron the opposite edges are equal. See the related link for more information.
What are the properties of tetrahedron?
A tetrahedron is the smallest possible polyhedron: a closed 3-d shape with polygonal faces. It has 4 triangular faces, 4 vertices and 6 edges. It is also known as a triangle-based pyramid. Any other properties will generally depend on the particular tetrahedron.
Describe the six main crystalline structures of silicate minerals?
Isolated tetrahedra silicates do not link with other silicon or oxygen atoms Ring Silicates form by sharing oxygen atoms Single Chain Silicates form a chain when sharing oxygen atoms Double Chain Silicates form when two or more single chains of tetrahedra bond to each other Sheet Silicates form when each tetrahedron shares three of its oxygen atoms with other tetrahedra Framework Silicates form when each tetrahedron is bonded to four other tetrahedras :)
When each tetrahedron shares three of its oxygen atoms with other tetrahedra silicates form what?
This gives a sheet silicate. Examples of minerals with this structure include kaolinite and talc.
Why is the air made up mostly of nitrogen gas?
Because nitrogen and nitrates are not easily permanently bonded with other elements. As are for example, the silicates or the phosphates. Or even the oxides.
What makes up diamond?
Diamond is made of carbon atoms bonded to each other where 1 carbon atom is boded to four other carbon atoms forming a tetrahedron which continues throughout the volume.
What is the structure of dimond?
The structure of a diamond are held together by carbon atoms covalently bonded by other carbon atoms. What makes diamonds so strong is the carbon atoms forming four bonds, which are covalent, with each other making it very strong.
When each tetrahedron is bonded to four other tetrahedra silicates form?
I was confused by this question- if each [SiO4] tetrahedron is bonded to four other tetrahedra then each silicon has half a share of 4 oxygens- so the formula is SiO2- but that is not a silicate, that is silica, but thenIremembered mineralogists classify silica as a silicate!.If the odd silicon atom is replaced with say aluminium then you could form a network (3D) anion where there are both [SiO4] and [AlO4]- tetrahedra linked at the corners. The complexity of these structures is difficut to describe in words but there are voids in n the structure where the balancing cations sit. These minerals are called tectosilicates and include feldspars which are quite prettily colored. Tectosilicates are common in nature. Feldspars have formulae that have 2:1 ratio of O to the total of Si and Al atoms, for example KAlSi3O8,where 1 Si in four has been substituted for Al.
What is other name for triangular pyramid?
tetrahedron
What is the other name of an equilateral pyramid?
A tetrahedron.
What are minerals that contain oxygen and silicon?
They are classified as silicates, one of the more common being the mineral quartz which is composed only of the elements silicon and oxygen (SiO2). Other silicate minerals may include one or more other elements as well in their chemical formula.
Is cone a tetrahedron?

What is a kind of rock containing aluminum's silicates and other minerals?
feldspar
