Introduction. Silica is the name given to a group of minerals composed of silicon and oxygen, the two most abundant elements in the earth's crust. Silica is found commonly in the crystalline state and rarely in an amorphous state.It is composed of one atom of silicon and two atoms of oxygen resulting in the chemical formula SiO2.ntroduction.
