Which of the following statements about zeolites is not correct?

AZeolites are open structures of silica in which trivalent aluminium is substituted by a fraction of silicon atoms.
BShape selectivity of zeolites depends upon porous structure of the catalyst.
CZeolites are synthetic microporous aluminosilicates which do not exist naturally
Correct Answer
DZeolites are aluminosilicates having three dimensional network.

Solution

The catalytic reaction that depends upon the pore structure of the catalyst and the size of the reactant and product molecules is called shape-selective catalysis.
Zeolites are good shape-selective catalysts because of their honeycomb-like structures.
Zeolites are micro porous aluminosilicates with three dimensional network of silicates in which some silicon atoms are replaced by aluminium atoms giving $$Al-O-Si$$ framework.
Zeolites are found in nature as well as synthesised for catalytic selectivity.
