  13. Octahedral Sheets Trioctahedral (divalent cation) View down [001] axis x y Dioctahedral (trivalent cation)

  14. Charge Development • Isomorphic substitution • Terminal (unsatisfied) bonds

  15. Charge Development • Isomorphic Substitution Tetrahedral Sites: Al3+ for Si4+g (-) charge Octahedral Sites: Mg2++ for Al3+g (-) charge Al3+ for Mg2+g (+) charge
