Crystals have regular, flat faces that form at very specific angles to each other and reflect their atomic structure. To identify what type of mineral you have, consult mindat.org, or a library, or a university earth science department, a local museum with mineral exhibits, or a local mineral collecting club.

How do you Identify the salt at sight in chemistry lab?
Identification is possible but very approximative after color, odor and the aspect of crystals.
Can you use crystals you identify minerals?
Yes. Minerals have a crystalline structure and specific crystal properties which aid in their identification.
What is C is the name used to describe grains that fit together?
Crystals
Which has smaller crystals basalt or granite?
i think that basalt is the smaller crystals out of the two, as the crystals in granite are larger.
What factor determines if an igneous rock has no crystals small crystals or large crystals?
it depends on the heat, if it cool very quick then it has small crystals but if it cool very slowly than it is bigger the slower the cooling period the bigger the crystals
How can you identify the shape of the crystals on well polished minirals?
do you???

Why can ammonium carbonate be used to identify both acidic and alkaline solutions?
It can identify acids and alkalis because it reacts with both. If you add some crystals of this to acid carbon dioxide gas will bubble up, and this turns lime water milky. If you add some crystals to an alkali, ammonia smell will be recognised. A more stringent test is that it turns damp litmus paper blue.
How do you identify salt in a rock?
- after taste - by chemical analysys - by microscopic examination of the crystals - measuring some physical parameters as refractive index, lattice parameter etc.
Would you use salt and sugar crystals to identify different colours in a paint?
I would normally identify the color of paint by looking at it. I do not know of any way to analyse color by using salt and sugar. If I needed a scientific analysis, I would use a photometer.
What crystal large or small can help identify an igneous rock as intrusive or extrusive?
As a general rule extrusive igneous rock crystals are very small, often microscopic, as the rock cools very rapidly. Conversely intrusive magma often cools so slowly that sizeable crystals can develop.
What are Ghost crystals?
Ghost Crystals are crystals of crosslinked polyacrylamide.
Are crystals living or nonliving?
NO CRYSTALS are not living!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
How can you identify an igneous rock?
Intrusive igneous rock is composed of visible mineral crystals, possessing what is referred to as a phaneritic texture. This is evidence that slow cooling of magma occurred deep underground.
What is an igneous rock with crystals?
Granite with larger crystals, basalt with smaller crystals.
What do you do on a science fair about crystals?
you should talk about how crystals are formed and what type of crystals there are
