Question:medium

Match the geometry linkage of SiO$_4$ tetrahedron with example minerals:

List IList II
A. Sheet --- III. Kaolinite
B. Single Chain --- IV. Pyroxene
C. Double Chain --- II. Quartz
D. Frameworks --- I. Amphibole		III. Kaolinite
IV. Pyroxene
II. Quartz
I. Amphibole

Show Hint

The structure of SiO$_4$ tetrahedra in minerals determines their physical and chemical properties. Sheet silicates include clays and micas; single chain silicates include pyroxenes.
