A semi-empirical methodology developed to model and simulate covalently bonded networked systems is modified to study the heteroatomic mixtures of silica. This methodology is capable of grasping the essential qualitative and quantitative features of the coupling between the electronic coordinates and the geometric structure. The methodology is used to simulate and to probe the structural and thermodynamic properties of the bulk crystalline, amorphous solid and the melt states of silica.
