True!
Correct. Minerals that do not split apart evenly, like quartz or obsidian, exhibit fracture instead of cleavage. Fracture can be described as uneven, conchoidal, splintery, or fibrous, depending on how the mineral breaks.

It is true i hope this helps everybody!!!!!!!!
The fracture of diamond is "conchoidal or shell-like," according to Wikipedia. Industrial diamonds are more easily broken apart based on the nature of the crystal's fracture lines. Gem-quality diamonds are more generally immune to being broken apart, because they are cut, polished and set in ways to minimize exposure to the natural fracture lines in the crystal.
Water's polarity allows it to form hydrogen bonds with other polar molecules or ions, enabling it to surround and separate them. This process, called hydration, breaks apart the solute molecules and disperses them evenly throughout the water, resulting in dissolution.
No, the way a mineral splits or breaks apart (cleavage) is just one identification characteristic. It is essential to consider other properties like color, hardness, luster, and crystal structure to accurately identify a mineral.
Coal is not considered a mineral because it is predominantly composed of organic matter (mainly plant material) instead of inorganic substances like minerals. While coal is formed through geological processes similar to those of minerals, its organic origin sets it apart from traditional minerals.
no
True!
The type of fracture formed when a mineral splits evenly is called a cleavage. An example is when mica breaks apart in sheets.
The two way by which minerals break are called cleavage and fracture. Cleavage is when a mineral breaks along a plane whose atomic bonds are weaker than in the rest of the mineral. Fracture is when a mineral is forced to be broken in an unnatural direction.
Fracture
CLEAVAGE
Fracture. When it breaks apart cleanly, that is called Cleavage.
Graphite will break apart with cleavage because the carbon atoms are arranged in layers that have weak bonds between them. This allows the layers to slide past each other easily, resulting in cleavage along flat planes.
You can tell if a mineral is a mineral by its characteristics: *color *luster *streak *hardness *cleavage/fracture *crystalline structure

Mineralogically speaking, fracture means the characteristic appearance of the surface of a freshly broken mineral or rock. It can also mean the manner in which a mineral or rock naturally breaks.Synonyms of fracture include, but are not limited to: splinter, smash, split, rupture, and shatter.
Fracture means a type of break. Not the same as a broken bone. A broken bone is when the bone snaps and the two peices of bone come apart. A fracture is when the bone breaks but does not come apart/disconnect.
Napoleon as in Bone apart.
