Physical mineralogy is the specific focus on physical attributes of minerals. Description of physical attributes is the simplest way to identify, classify, and categorize minerals, and they include:
crystal structure
crystal habit
twinning
cleavage
luster
diaphaneity
color
streak
hardness
specific gravity

This is a property of a material which is not related to its ability to react with other materials?
A physical property.
Is buoyancy a chemical property?
Yes, buoyancy is considered a physical property. It is a type of physical property because it is related to the density and weight of the item, which are both physical.
Why is the mineral opal referred to as a mineraloid?
Opal is an amorphous form of silica related to quartz, a mineraloid form, not a mineral. A mineraloid is a mineral-like substance that does not demonstrate crystallinity.Now you get it?
What is the temperatures?
Temperature is a physical property related with the sensation of cold or hot.99c im melting
Why is an element's solubility a physical property?
You don't need to alter the identity of the substance to determine its solubility. See the Related Questions link the left of this answer for more information about physical vs. chemical properties.
How is cleavage related to a mineral's atomic structure?
Cleavage is related to the minerals atomic structure because minerals are arranged in crystal lattices . It's the shape of these lattices that determine the mineral's cleavage.
How is a physical change related to a substance physical property?
a physical change is a change in any physical property of a substance, not in the substance itself
This is a property of a material which is not related to its ability to react with other materials?
A physical property.
Is buoyancy a chemical property?
Yes, buoyancy is considered a physical property. It is a type of physical property because it is related to the density and weight of the item, which are both physical.
How is cleavage related to atomic structure?
Cleavage is related to the minerals atomic structure because minerals are arranged in crystal lattices . It's the shape of these lattices that determine the mineral's cleavage.
Is chemical reactions a physical or chemical properties?
ChemicalTo determine it, you must alter the identity of the substance. See the Related Questions link to the left of this answer: "What is the difference between a chemical and physical property?"PhysicalElements cannot be altered, without disrupting the physical structure of the atom, so the atomic structure between the protons, neutrons, and electrons are physical.Barney9So which one is it...? Chemical or physical?~Physical. Barney9's answer was a little confusing.. but overall, you can identify an element without disrupting the atomic structure of it's atoms.
How is a physical change related to a substance physical properties?
a physical change is a change in any physical property of a substance, not in the substance itself
How does physical property differs from chemical property?
A physical property can be observed without changing what the substance is made of. A chemical property can only be observed by altering a substance through a chemical change.
Why is the mineral opal referred to as a mineraloid?
Opal is an amorphous form of silica related to quartz, a mineraloid form, not a mineral. A mineraloid is a mineral-like substance that does not demonstrate crystallinity.Now you get it?
Is solubility a physical or chemical propety?
Solubility is a physical property because it is related to a physical, not a chemical, change. When something dissolves, it does not change chemically. It is still the same compound/molecule, etc. when it was not dissolved in the solvent.
What is the temperatures?
Temperature is a physical property related with the sensation of cold or hot.99c im melting
What is a ductile solid?
Ductility is the physical property related to the ability of a metal to be easily transformed in wires.
