DDL and isomorphic substitution

Isomorphic substitutions lead to formation of negative charges on phyllosilicates. These negative charges then attract electrostatically cations and those attracted cations form DDL.
Particles without any charges (e.g. sand) do not have any attracted ions on their surfaces or, in other words, sand particles do not have DDL
