Luster color streak cleavage hardness and denisty are all?
Properties used to identify minerals.
The single property that can be used to identify any minerals is?
There really isn't one single property, there are multiple properties that need to be used to diagnose a mineral.
How can magnetism be used to identify minerals?
Since some minerals are magnetic and some are not, that can be one of several criteria used to distinguish different minerals.
Why is color alone not a reliable means of identifying minerals?
Color is probably one of the least reliable properties used in mineral identification. There are many minerals which have the same color, and many minerals have more than one color. For example, hornblende, axi...
Which properties of minerals can be expressed in numbers?
The crystallographic axes of minerals are expressed as numbers. As such these numbers can also be used to describe the orientation of mineral cleavage planes. The Mohs hardness, specific gravity, and melting point of minerals are also properties that can be expressed numerically.
Are physical properties are used to identify minerals?
yes it is
What are 4 of the principal physical properties used to identify a mineral?
Crystal habitColourStreakHardnessCleavageLusterare some of the principal physical properties used to identify minerals.
What properties are not used to identify minerals?
I think its Specific Gravity :)
What are three properties used to identify minerals?
x-rays
What are some physical properties of a mineral?
7 Properties include: Hardness, luster, streak, cleavage, density, color, and fracture.
Why chemical properties not always used to identify minerals?
The stripe, and color
What properties are not commonly used to identify minerals?
I think its Specific Gravity :)
What can be used to identify a substance or to predict how will behave?
Physical and chemical properties can be used to identify a substance or predict how it will behave.
Luster color streak cleavage hardness and denisty are all?
Properties used to identify minerals.
What properties are used to identify rocks and minerals?
Hardness, Cleavage, Luster, Color, Streak, and Texture.
How can knowing the physical properties of a substance be useful?
The physical properties of a pure substance can be used to identify it. A pure substance is an element or a compound, not a mixture.
What are three physical properties used to identify compound?
melting point density and color
