Silicates defined as a salt in which the anion contains both silicon and oxygen, especially one of the anion SiO₄²⁻.

ex:- zircon (ortho), Thortvetite (pyro), Enstatite (chain) , Beryl (cyclic), kaolin (Sheet)

Approximately 30% of all minerals are silicates and some geologists estimate that 90% of the Earth's crust is made up of silicates, SiO₄⁴^- based material. Thus, oxygen and silicon are the two most abundant elements in the earth's crust.

dear kumar....

A silicate is a compound containing an anionic silicon compound. The great majority of silicates are oxides, but hexafluorosilicate ([SiF₆]²⁻) and other anions are also included. "Orthosilicate" is the anion SiO₄⁴⁻ or its compounds.

Examples of silicates are olivine, quartz, almandine, zircon, topaz and beryl. Silicates are materials that contain silicon dioxide, SiO2 or SiO4. Silicon dioxide is the most abundant material in the Earth's crust.
