Chapter 19, Problem 19.62SP

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The anionic structure should be drawn given the molecular formula of silicates ($K_{4}Si{O}_4$), and relationship should be discussed given molecular formula of terminal oxygen atoms.

Concept Introduction:

Shorthand notation: The atom or ion is represented by the picture, it is commonly seen on periodic table depicting the different elements.

• The letter at the centre of the notation the element that is replacing and full element name is usually beneath this symbol.
• This method that increase speed and brevity of writing as compared to longhand a more common method of writing a language.

(b)
