Two successive units of Kaolinite are connected by means of

Answer & Solution
Correct Answer: Option A
Kaolinite is a clay mineral. It is a layered silicate mineral, with one tetrahedral sheet of silica linked through oxygen atoms to one octahedral sheet of alumina octahedra. It is described as a 1 : 1 or TO clay mineral because its crystals consist of stacked TO layers. Each TO layer consists of a tetrahedral sheet composed of silicon and oxygen ions bonded to an octahedral sheet composed of oxygen, aluminium and hydroxyl ions.
Two successive units of Kaolinite are connected by the means of an H-bond.
