Question:

The layered silicate compound CaAl2(Al2Si2)O10(OH)2 contains a double aluminosilicate layer, with both Si and Al in four-coordinate sites. Sketch an edge-on view of a reasonable structure for the double layer, involving only vertex sharing between the SiO4 and AlO4 units. Discuss the likely sites occupied by Ca2+ in relation to the silica–alumina double layer.
