How can you tell the difference between hematite and pyrite?
The difference between the iron in magnetite and hematite is the charge. Hematite has all 3+ iron ( the iron when make the mineral loses 3 electrons) and magnetite has some 2+ iron (it only loses 2 electrons).
How many directions of cleavage do the feldspar minerals have?
Two directions of cleavage, at 90 degrees to each other.
Why is there no growth of the blastomere during cleavage?
There is no growth because during cleavage the cells skip the G1 and G2 stages of interphase (when cell growth usually occurs). Because of this, cytoplasm volume stays constant throughout cleavage, only there are more cells to comprise the same volume.
What is the meaning of law of the infinitesimal dose?
Law of the Infinitesimal Dose (The more diluted a remedy is, the more potent it is.)
How is magnetite used commercially?
Magnetite is used in many ways. Magnetite can be used as magnets, which can be used for more than just keeping paper on the fridge. It can be used to generate electricity, keep trains on the tracks, and guide your way in the wilderness.
What is more common cleavage or fracture?
Cleavage
What is the cleavage and fracture of a ruby?
Ruby has a conchoidal fracture with vitreous fracture luster. Read more on the link below
What is more common a cleavage or fracture?
they both show how rocks break
What 2 ways can minerals break?
Minerals break in the main two ways cleavage and fracture. Cleavage is breaking in flat planes but fracture is more uneven even unpredictable. The hardest mineral to break would be the diamond, which is placed at a ten on Moh's hardness scale.
A mineral that has uneven surfaces when broken is said to have?
That is referred to as fracturing.
Does the diamond have a cleavage or fracture?
Diamond stone, because of its lattice structure of carbon atoms, is identified as an 'octahedral; perfect and easy' cleavage (according to Wikipedia). Read more, below.
A mineral that has uneven surfaces when is said to have?
When minerals break, they can either have fracture of cleavage. Fracture is what you're looking for, and like you said, it's what happens when the mineral breaks and leaves uneven surfaces. A good example of a fractured mineral is quartz. Cleavage, on the other hand, occurs when minerals break along weak atomic bonding planes. Cleavage creates your flatter, more geometric surfaces. Look at mica. It creates what look like sheets of paper due to it's excellent cleavage.
What is the range for Moh's Hardness scale?
what type of breakage is more common deavage or fracture
How can you tell the difference between hematite and pyrite?
The difference between the iron in magnetite and hematite is the charge. Hematite has all 3+ iron ( the iron when make the mineral loses 3 electrons) and magnetite has some 2+ iron (it only loses 2 electrons).
What type of breakage is more common cleavage of fractrue?
cleavage
What is meant by equi-cohesive temperature?
The equicohesive temperature is an antiquated term for the temperature at which the cohesion (the strength) of the grain boundaries in a crystal (usually a metal) becomes equal to that of the crystalline interior. In practice, it is the temperature at which a transition from an intergranular to transgranular (cleavage)-type fracture is observed. Over time, the concept of the equicohesive temperature has been replace be a more nuanced understanding of the various possible deformation mechanisms possible in polycrystals, with low-temperature, intergranular fracture and transgranular cleavage being only two such examples.
A fracture in which a broken bone pokes through the skin?
Its referred to as a compound fracture or open fracture. See the related link for more information.
