On most planets, when silicon reacts with even small amounts of oxygen it forms silicates, such as the mineral, quartz, which is made up of a three dimensional structure of SiO4 tetrahedra (a single Si atom linked to four separate O atoms through single bonds). The tetrahedra are linked through Si-O-Si bonds using shared oxygen atoms. Calculate the energy required to break down a three tetrahedra section of this quartz (Si309) into individual Si and O atoms, assuming that the three tetrahedra are each linked to one another together through Si-O-Si bonds as shown in the diagram SiO, tetrahedron Section of silicate
