What arrangement of atoms in a repeating pattern in a mineral causes the formation of?
The arrangement of atoms in a mineral sample can cause the formation of crystals.
What mineral is responsible for the formation of hemoglobin?
Iron.
What mineral activates an enzyme for the formation of acetylcholine?
calcium
How can density help identify a mineral?
Each mineral has a characteristic density (or range of densities), so if the measured density is a close match to a mineral you know, it MAY be that mineral; if it doesn't match, it is something different.
Is the crystals in each mineral are the same shape true or false?
Most minerals have one crystal shape each, but that shape may be different for a different mineral. However there are a few substances which form different shapes of crystal under different conditions. This is called polymorphism, or allotropy if the substance is an element. For instance carbon can form graphite or diamond.
Explain why each mineral has its own properties different from every other mineral?
Because they each are made of different elements and therefore have different chemical compositions.
Does each mineral have its own properties?
The properties are affected by its chemical composition, method of formation, crystal latticework, and environment surrounding its formation.
How much of a specific vitamin or mineral to you need?
Each vitamin and mineral is different.
Do the properties of a mineral depend on the type of mineral?
Yes each different mineral will have a unique set of physical properties.
Is true or false that the crystals in each mineral are the same shape?
Crystals of a certain mineral have a regular formation of atoms. However, crystals of the same mineral can grow differently. The presence of trace minerals, variations in heat, pressure, and the space that they have to grow in can influence the shape of a crystal. Crystalline structures demonstrate characteristic geographic variations for these reasons.
What arrangement of atoms in a repeating pattern in a mineral causes the formation of?
The arrangement of atoms in a mineral sample can cause the formation of crystals.
What are the differences of crystal and mineral formation?
Mineral crystal formation is a naturally occurring process of inorganic material. Crystal formation can occur in organic material as well, but would not be considered mineralogical crystal formation.
What is the mineral composition of evaporite?
Several minerals are evaporites, and therefore, there is not just one mineral composition but a different one for each mineral.
Mineral formation clues include what and how mineral crystals fit together?
Jello
What mineral is necessary for the formation of acetylcholine?
calcium
What mineral is responsible for the formation of hemoglobin?
Iron.
What is the hue or appearance of a mineral?
The definition of hue is color. Appearance could also relate to color, or if the mineral has cleavage or is fractured. Cleavage refers to the formation of a mineral in layers, and fracture is when a mineral has no specific formation pattern. These characteristics are visible. How a mineral appears is what it looks like.
