𝑐 𝐴
′
= the number of formula units within the unit cell
𝑐 = the sum of the atomic weights of all cations in the formula unit
𝐴 = the sum of the atomic weights of all anions in the formula unit

= 4 in FCC lattice
𝑐 = 𝑁𝐴 = 22.99 g/mol
𝐴 = 𝐶𝐼 = 35.45 g/mol
𝑁𝐴 = 0.102x10-7

Silicate Ceramics
Silicates are materials composed primarily of silicon and oxygen, the two most
abundant elements in the earth’s. Most important are the +4 and −2 . In all
silicates the basic unit is the 4 tetrahedron. Silicates are important
constituents of most of the ceramics material since. The bulk of soils, rocks, clays,
and sand come under the silicate classification. Each atom of silicon is bonded to
four oxygen atoms, which are situated at the corners of the tetrahedron; the silicon
atom is positioned at the center.
