What is the difference between Isomorphic mineral and polymorphism?
*isomorphic have different chemical and physical properties and poly morphous have same chemical and physical properties
What should you do to identify or distinguish between two yellow minerals contained within a rock?
Minerals with a matching color can have other vastly different physical properties. Mineralogists commonly use properties such as hardness, crystal shape, and streak color as aids in identification. Use the flowchart in the link below to learn more.
What are the differences between copper and silver?
All physical and chemical properties are different.
What kind of rock andesite?
No. Andesite is classed as an 'intermediate' rock, being halfway in composition between a mafic and felsic rock. Mafic rocks are those that contain alot of ferromagnesian minerals (iron and magnesium) which give mafic rocks their dark colouring. Typical ferromagnesian minerals include olivine and pyroxene. Typical mafic rocks are basalt and gabbro. Felsic rocks, on the other hand, are low in magnesium and iron and are usually light in colour, such as granite and rhyolite. Andesite therefore typically contains a mixture of both felsic and mafic minerals and is classed as 'intermediate'.
What is a mi mineraloid?
It is important to distinguish between a mineral and a mineraloid. A mineral is an inorganic, naturally occurring substance that has a characteristic chemical composition, distinctive physical properties, and solid crystalline structure (an order 3 dimensional arrangement of atoms or molecules). If it does not have this solid crystalline structure, it is not a true mineral and is therefore a "mineraloid."
What are two physical properties that could not be used to distinguish between water and ethanol?
Color and volatility
Is not a physical property of water?
Perhaps the properties of space and time? Possibly the properties of a vacuum? You may be referring to "metaphysics" to distinguish between the real and the apparent properties of matter.
Which physical test can be used to distinguish between a metal element and a non-metal element?
Conductivity test, Scratch test, Density test, Properties and Malleability ... :)
What is the relationship between physical and biological?
distinguish the relationship between Biology and physical science?
Can you distinguish between a chemical and physical change?
they don't
Is andesite basic or acid?
Andesite has an intermediate composition between "basic" and "acid."
How could properties such as color texture and temperature help scientists distinguish between 2 different samples of matter?

What is the difference between chemical and physical properties?
Physical properties use your senses and chemical properties are when you mix two chemicals together.
Characteristics we use to tell the difference between kinds of matter are called?
These characteristics are chemical and physical properties.
What is the difference between a physical and non-physical property?
The physical properties are measurable in a measuring system.
Difference between chemical and physical change?
A chemical change is when the chemical properties of a substance changes and a physical change is when the chemical properties stay the same but the physical properties (shape, temperature etc...)
What does 'properties' mean in science?
A property is what characteristics something has.
