Respuesta :
magnesium iron silicate with the formula (Mg+2, Fe+2)2SiO4. Thus it is a type of nesosilicate or orthosilicate. It is a common mineral in the Earth's subsurface but weathers quickly on the surface.
Answer:
D. independent tetrahedral.
Explanation:
Silicate minerals are the base of Earth's rocks, like quartz, mica, pyroxene and olivine. These minerals are built by the silica tetrahedral, which consist combining 4 atoms of oxygen and 1 atom of silicon, that's why the name tetrahedral.
Specifically, olivine is composed by independent or isolated tetrahedra bonds with iron or magnesium, giving its structure.
