  1. What is Zeolite?
    1. Hydrated Aluminosilicate
    2. Hydrated Calcium Sulphate
    3. Dehydrated Aluminosilicate
    4. Dehydrated Calcium Sulphate
Correct Option: A

Zeolites are hydrated aluminosilicate minerals made from interlinked tetrahedra of alumina (AlO4) and silica (SiO4). In simpler words, they’re solids with a relatively open, three-dimensional crystal structure built from the elements aluminium, oxygen, and silicon, with alkali or alkaline-Earth metals (such as sodium, potassium, and magnesium) plus water molecules trapped in the gaps between them.
