Oh my! as a budding amateur geologist . A major piece of understanding minerals has just clicked in. Thank you for a wonderful demonstration. I am 60 yrs old and delighted to keep learning.
I was having trouble understanding this process from my Geology text book and this video really helped and explains it in a very simple and exact way. Thank you so much. Great video!
Thank you for this wonderful video. I have been struggling to keep all of the information about silicates in my head, because I only understood them as facts to be memorized. Now, I understand the chemistry behind them and the facts have finally settled into my brain! Thank you!
I was trying to understand the Bowen's reaction series and someone pointed me toward the chemistry, very good and concise description of all the structures.
Thank you so much for this video, Ma'am. It's a very simple explanation but really helpful for me as a Geology student! I hope you could make more videos soon..
Good Lord, this woman sounds like what I'd imagine Glad0s to sound like if she were still human -_-'. (In all seriousness though, very helpful. Had to use this for a Geology assignment, kudos)
I'm very much enjoying these lessons - thank you for sharing your time and knowledge!
I too am a Geology student having trouble understanding this in my text book! Thanks for the movie, it makes sense!
I love you Wendy, your literally saving my college education

Here in 2022! You made this extremely easy to understand! Thank you so much!!! I have an exam at 4pm today 😬
Sooooper job. As a geotechnical professional, I find this video very useful to understand clay mineralogy.
Thank you for the clear explanation. I appreciate it.
this is the best explanation i have found for this topic :) thank you so much!
The title does not do the video justice. You did your job alright. Thanks a lot!
A really straightforward explanation. thanks
Thank you so much :) kept it simple and clear .
thank you very much for this video. You did a very great job of explaining
Thanks for this! You explained this very well!
Thanks for the job well!. Nothing was understood from in class lecture until I watched this video.
Great video, made it very easy for me to understand. Many thanks to you 😊
So we'll explained, I tried textbook but this is 💯 times better. Thank you very much. Keep uploading.
Excellent illustration, so beautifully presented.
Thank you, very illuminating
This was really helpful. Thank you so much. :)
Thank you so much, you've done a pretty good job!!! Super useful.

Enjoyed this thank you
This was awesome..... very helpful
amazing video thank you so much
Thank so much for your clear persentation
thanx this video helped me a lot
Thank you so much for this video, Ma'am. It's a very simple explanation but really helpful for me as a Geology student!
I hope you could make more videos soon..
its so nice please continue..........
great job,thnks
Very helpful indeed!
thankyou sooo much for this video! I'm gonna ace my physical science final now!
Personally, as a novice petrologist, getting a strong grip on silicates is vital. Possibly as important as tectonics.
Thank you!!!
Thank you so much madam. It helps a lot
Thanks so much. Great explanation.
Very informative
Wow this is a great education video
Awesome video :)
Excellent
Perfect
Perfect.
Excellent. I long ago learned that most rocks were made of silicon and oxygen, but i wondered "then why are they so different"?
Excellent 👌👌👌
Tout est bien explique !
Thanks
you are very awesome! so for every one Fe and one Mg, there is only one tetrahedron?
Thank you Ma'am
thank yu
nice tricks for easy remember
thanks
wendy I love you so so much thank you
Thank you for this. My Mineralogy professor did a god awful job explaining this stuff.
Great video, well explained but orthosilicates were missing...
Good Lord, this woman sounds like what I'd imagine Glad0s to sound like if she were still human -_-'. (In all seriousness though, very helpful. Had to use this for a Geology assignment, kudos)
super
Genius
This video hit different while pooping
Video should be at the top of the list. It must have been idiots who gave it a thumbs down.
I can't tell ,what all I forgot , press on !
But silica is si02 and silicate si04?
how does the molecule get a net charge of -4?
and is the silicon atom positively charge because oxygen has a higher electronegativity?
Si has a charge of +4, while each of the four oxygens have a charge of -4, so the molecule has +4 + 4(-2)= -8

Amazing?
may you go to heaven
