inosilicate (chain silicate, band silicate). ... Two important groups of rock-forming minerals are included: pyroxenes, where two of the four oxygens are shared to give a 'single chain' structure with the ratio Si : O = 1 : 3; and amphiboles, where half the SiO4 tetrahedra share two oxygens and the other half share three oxygens, to give a 'double chain' or 'band' structure and a ratio Si : O = 4 : 11. 4, record 1, English, - chain%20silicate
