common of which is quartz. Quartz is a framework silicate with SiO4 tetrahedra arranged in spirals. The
spirals can turn in a clockwise or anticlockwise direction a feature that results in there being two mirror

Silicons are synthetic polymers containing repreated R2SiO units. Since, the empirical formula is that of
a ketone (R2CO), the name silicone has been given to these materials. Silicones can be made into oils,

rubbery elastomers and resins. They find a variety of applications because of their chemical inertness,
water repelling nature, heat-resistance and good electrical insulating property.
