Ideas in this flowchart

  • Phyllosilicates
  • They are crystalline silicate clays.
  • Their atoms form repeating, paper-like layers.
  • The layers contain silicate tetrahedra.
  • 1:1 phyllosilicates
  • One tetrahedral sheet alternates with one octahedral sheet.
  • 2:1 phyllosilicates
  • One octahedral sheet is sandwiched between two tetrahedral sheets.
  • An interlayer can contain ions and water.

"Phyllosilicates are crystalline silicate clays with atoms arranged in repeating, paper-like layers that contain silicate tetrahedra. In 1:1 phyllosilicates, one tetrahedral sheet alternates with one octahedral sheet. In 2:1 phyllosilicates, an octahedral sheet is sandwiched between two tetrahedral sheets, with an interlayer that can contain ions and water."
