What affects the size of crystals formed from magma?
The rate at which the magma cools affects the size of the crystals that form. If it cools slowly, large crystals will form. If it cools rapidly, small crystals will form.if it takes the rock a long time to cool down the crystals will be bigger if the rock takes a short time to cool the crystals will be smaller
Why do Minerals in geodes form spectacular euhedral crystals?
Because they can take long to form resulting in a large crystal well-formed. And also remeber fast forming Crystal =small, slow forming Crystal =large
Does silicon form compounds made of long chains of atoms?
no but carbon does
Minerals of this family tend to form long needlelike crystals?
amphiboles
How long does it take for salt crystals to form?
It takes 2 to 5days
Can silicon form the same organic molecules as carbon?
No. Silicon cannot form long chains or other complex molecules as carbon can because the Si-Si bonds are unstable. The silicon-hydrogen bonds are much weaker as well.
Why do some igneous rocks have big crystals or grains and some igneous rocks have small crystals or grains?
how long they stayed in the volcano; how much time the crystals had to form
Salt and vinegar crystals?
they are the cristals which form when vinegar is left for a long time.
How long does it take for crystals to form when water evaporates?
This depends on many factors.
What determines the size of crystals that form in granite?
The cooling rate of magma plays a significant role in determining the size of crystals.
How long do crystals from crystal making kits take to form?
It takes about two to four weeks
Is quartz a silicate mineral?
Quartz is not a salt; it is silicon dioxide, SiO2.
