Tungstosilicate

Name:
Tungstosilicate
Detailed information:
One of a group of complex inorganic compounds of high molecular weight, containing a central silicon atom surrounded by tungsten oxide octahedra. They have high molecular weight, high degree of hydration, strong oxidizing action in aqueous solutions; decompose in strongly basic aqueous solutions to give simple tungstate solutions; form highly colored anions or reaction products.See Silicotungstic Acid; Sodium-12-tungstosilicate.
