On Specific Heat, Pyrolysis, Transponders, Et Alii
On Specific Heat, Pyrolysis, Transponders, et alii
By Daniel Zimmermann
Polymorphs of Silicon Dioxide
Silicon dioxide surrounds us on every hand. The soil on which we walk contains silicon dioxide sand. The windows that adorn our houses and public buildings are made of glass composed of silicon dioxide
Several different crystalline forms of silicon dioxide occur in nature. We refer to each of these crystalline forms as a polymorph of silicon dioxide. The word polymorph
comes from Greek words meaning many
and form.
Quartz
Quartz is the most common form of crystalline silicon dioxide. In quartz, silicon and oxygen atoms unite to form a lattice. Its basic unit is a tetrahedron in which four oxygen atoms are attached symmetrically to a single silicon atom. However, each oxygen atom is a constituent part of two different tetrahedra, so that all the tetrahedra are joined together to form a unit.
The standard chemical formula for quartz is SiO2; but as you can see from the foregoing, quartz is not composed of discrete SiO2 units. It is one large molecule.
Ideally, quartz should form neat-looking hexagonal crystals with a six-sided pyramid at two opposite ends. However, natural quartz exhibits imperfections. This is partly due to the fact that bonds between the atoms in the crystal lattice
