MCQ
$(Si_2O_5)_n^{2n-}$ anion is obtained when
  • A
    no oxygen of a $SiO_4^{4-}$ tetrahedron is shared with another $SiO_4^{4-}$ tetrahedron
  • B
    one oxygen of a $SiO_4^{4-}$ tetrahedron is shared with another $SiO_4^{4-}$- tetrahedron
  • C
    two oxygen of a $SiO_4^{4-}$ tetrahedron are shared with another $SiO_4^{4-}$ tetrahedron
  • three oxygen of a $SiO_4^{4-}$ tetrahedron are shared with another $SiO_4^{4-}$ tetrahedron

Answer

Correct option: D.
three oxygen of a $SiO_4^{4-}$ tetrahedron are shared with another $SiO_4^{4-}$ tetrahedron
d
Total No. of oxygen atoms per silicon atom $=\frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{2}+1=2.5$

$\therefore$ Formula $\mathrm{Si}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{5}^{2-}$
