MCQ
Which one of the following statements about the zeolites is false
  • A
    Zeolites are aluminosilicates having three dimensional network
  • Some of the $SiO_4^{ - 4}$ units are replaced by $AlO_4^{ - 5}$ and $AlO_6^{9 - }$ ions in zeolites
  • C
    They are used as cation exchangers
  • D
    They have open structure which enables them to take up small molecules

Answer

Correct option: B.
Some of the $SiO_4^{ - 4}$ units are replaced by $AlO_4^{ - 5}$ and $AlO_6^{9 - }$ ions in zeolites
b
(b) Zeolite have $Si{O_4}$ and $Al{O_4}$ tetrahedrons linked together in a three dimensional open structure in which four or six membered ring predominate. Due to open chain structure they have cavities and can take up water and other small molecules.
