What are different class of crystals?
Minerals crystals are divided into six systems depending on the relationships of length of axes and angles between axes. The six mineral crystal systems are: cubic, hexagonal, trigonal, tetragonal, orthorhombic, triclinic, and monoclinic.
How many types of crystals present?
The problem is that "types" is not a well-defined word in the contest of this problem. Do you mean morphology, lattice system, space group, or what? There are more or less infinitely many possible morphologies (I'm pretty sure, though I wouldn't necessarily want to try to prove it, that it's a countable infinity). There are 7 lattice systems: triclinic, monoclinic, orthorhombic, rhombohedral, tetragonal, hexagonal, and cubic. There are 230 distinct space groups, and no I'm not going to list them. Get a graduate-level chemistry book on X-ray crystallography if you really want the details.
How would you use crystal structure to tell a crystal of pyrite from a crystal of gypsum?
A pyrite is a cubic solid and a gypsum is a monoclinic solid.
Does oxygen have a crystal like nitrogen?
Solid oxygen has a cubic crystalline structure. Solid nitrogen has a hexagonal crystalline structure.
How many different systems are crystals classified into?
Seven. They are: Cubic - all angles 90 degrees, all sides equal length Trigonal - all angles 90 degrees, two sides equal and the third unequal Orthorhombic - all angles 90 degrees, no sides equal Hexagonal - two angles 90 degrees and one angle 120 degrees, two sides unequal and the third unequal Trigonal - all angles equal but not 90, all sides equal Monoclinic - two angles 90, one more than 90, and no sides equal Triclinic - no angles equal, no sides equal For a graphical representation of these, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crystal_system#Classification_of_lattices
Cubic Tetragonal Monoclinic and Hexagonal are words used to describe a mineral's?
phase

Is apatite a rock?
No, apatite is the name of a group of minerals that are hexagonal, trigonal, and monoclinic phosphates, arsenates and vanadates.

What has the author Mohammad Kolahdoozan written?
Mohammad Kolahdoozan has written: 'Adsorption and flotation characteristics of hexagonal and monoclinic pyrrhotite' -- subject(s): Pyrrhotite, Flotation
Is quartz a cubic shape?
No, quartz crystals are not cubic. They are hexagonal prisms with a six sided pyramid on the top.
What is the structure of a lead molecule face-centred cubic or hexagonal close-packed?
a center faced cubic hexagonal closed pack structure focused in the minds eye is time travel or invention of the tartis.
