Clay minerals are traditionally classified under 'silicates' but since their formulae (chemical compositions) have more oxygen than Si, Al, or Mg (Table 1.5), these minerals may arguably be considered as (hydr)oxides of silicon, aluminium, or magnesium. By the same token, LDH may be regarded as (hydr)oxides of metal ions.
