open-in-new
<p>Metasilicates are <a href="/facts/Silicate/7NdthSRM">silicates</a> containing ions of empirical formula SiO2−3. Common <a href="/facts/Stoichiometry/I5p9cJzV">stoichiometries</a> include MI2SiO3 and MIISiO3. Metasilicates can be cyclic, usually the hexamer (SiO3)12−6 or chains (SiO3)n2−. </p><p>Common compounds containing metasilicate anion are: </p> <ul><li><a href="/facts/Inosilicate/WclrQW2I">Inosilicates</a></li> <li><a href="/facts/Metasilicic_acid/c8ECbPsm">Metasilicic acid (hydrogen metasilicate)</a></li> <li><a href="/facts/Sodium_metasilicate/tmbpSnrH">Sodium metasilicate</a></li> <li><a href="/facts/Calcium_metasilicate/lgGWmUNQ">Calcium metasilicate</a></li></ul>
