👉 The term "carbosilicate" is a chemical compound that consists of silicon dioxide, which is an ionic compound. It is commonly used in cement and other construction materials to form a hard and durable bond between the calcium carbonate (CaCO3) and the silica (SiO2). The two compounds are bonded together by the hydrogen bonds between the carbon atoms of the SiO2 and the oxygen atoms of the CaCO3. This process is known as cementation, which is a
