A solid with a repeating pattern of atoms?
A crystal has an orderly repeating pattern of atoms, so does a polymer. The term "polymer" is usually reserved to describe a substance with a repeating pattern of formula units (monomers) which are groups of atoms.
What are solids in which the particles are NOT arranged in a pattern?
A solid in which the constituent particles do not form a pattern is said to be amorphous.
What is a form of carbon in which the carbon bonds are arranged in a repeating pattern?
I'm assuming that when you say "repeating pattern", you mean a network solid. In that case, diamonds.
What is a form of carbon in which the carbon bonds are arranged in a repeating pattern similar to a geodesic dome?
Buckminsterfullerene, named for its discoverer, Buckminster Fuller.
Can minerals be liquid or solid or gas?
Rocks are made of minerals. When rocks melt, the minerals become fluid or in a liquid state. Also, when a mineral turns to a liquid it no longer meets the expectaions required for it to be called a mineral.
The repeating pattern of a mineral's particles in a solid?
Nonliving, solid material formed in nature with particles arranged in a repeating pattern is a mineral. Atoms of a mineral are arranged in a repeating pattern to form a solid that is called a crystal.
What Has a repeating pattern?
Nonliving, solid material formed in nature with particles arranged in a repeating pattern is a mineral. Atoms of a mineral are arranged in a repeating pattern to form a solid that is called a crystal.
What is a mineral repeating pattern of atoms will form?
glass
Are crystalline and amorphous solids?
Crystalline Solids are when the particles form a regular repeating pattern. Amorphous solids have particles that are not arranged in a regular pattern.
What is the 3 dimensional pattern that the particles of a mineral form?
The structure that a mineral forms is called a crystal.
Particles arranged in a repeating pattern?
They are crystal matrices, called a lattice, if you're speaking of molecular structure. There are a lot of different types - hexagonal, or trigonal, for example. They are usually mineral compounds that form crystals. Any hippie would know this.
What is a solid geometric form of minerals produced by repeating pattern of atoms of molecules in a mineral?
It's called crystalline structure.
How can a mineral be formed naturally?
All minerals are crystalline, and form by crystallization from a liquid medium. This may be molten rock or a solution in hot water. As these cool, atoms become locked in chemical bonds in a repeating pattern which is low in energy. This forms the repeating structure of a crystalline mineral.
What is the repeating patterns of a minerla's particles that form a solid calles?
A crystal.
A solid with a repeating pattern of atoms?
A crystal has an orderly repeating pattern of atoms, so does a polymer. The term "polymer" is usually reserved to describe a substance with a repeating pattern of formula units (monomers) which are groups of atoms.
What action would lead to a crystal formation in a mineral?
The atoms or molecules form repeating patterns.
What are solids in which the particles are NOT arranged in a pattern?
A solid in which the constituent particles do not form a pattern is said to be amorphous.
