Does mica have clear cleavage?
As Mica splits perfectly parallel to its base, it is considered to have perfect basal cleavage. No other cleavage planes are present in Mica so the flaking occurs readily along this single plane. A good analogy would be a stack of A4 paper. The layers are easily peelable in one direction [parallel to the base] as opposed to the other axis [refer to the miller indices].
Is Mica a solid liquid or gas?
Mica is a solid
Why are bamboo sheets so expensive If bamboo is so easy to grow and requires less processin than cotton why are the sheets 5 times the price?
Due to the laws of supply and demand.
Is mica in paint?
yes, mica has so many application muscovite mica is used in electronic insulators, paints, as joint cement, as a dusting agent, in Oil well drilling mud and lubricants, and in plastics, roofing, rubber, and welding rods. Mica is a naturally occurring mineral, which is present in most granite rock formations. It occurs as a geological fault between two layers of hard rock. In brief, Mica is a generic term applied to a group of complex alumino-silicate materials, having a plate like structure, with different chemical compositions and physical properties. Deposits of mica suitable for use in electrical applications are found in India, Madagascar and Canada, where the mineral is mined and processed. for any question please cont. ahuja.minerals@hotmail.com
Is the consellation Big Dog in the Milky Way Galaxy?
The constellation is basically a direction in the sky, so it includes parts of our galaxies, but you can also see other galaxies in the same direction (in the same constellation).The constellation is basically a direction in the sky, so it includes parts of our galaxies, but you can also see other galaxies in the same direction (in the same constellation).The constellation is basically a direction in the sky, so it includes parts of our galaxies, but you can also see other galaxies in the same direction (in the same constellation).The constellation is basically a direction in the sky, so it includes parts of our galaxies, but you can also see other galaxies in the same direction (in the same constellation).

What is the relationship between the way in which silicon-oxygen tetrahedral bond in micas and the characteristic cleavage of micas?
Mica share three oxygen atoms and link to form two dimensional sheet. Other ions fit between the sheets so they have cleavage in one direction and it occurs in books of very thin sheets

Why do plywood sheets always consist of an odd number of layers?
Plywood sheets consist of an odd number of layers so the grain runs the same direction on both sides.
Can mica float on water?
Mica is over twice as dense as water, so unless the mica is in the shape of a boat, it will sink.
How do you identify the mineral mica?
Mica appears as sheety, shiny, plated crystals, sometimes displaying as 'books', where each cleavage plane is easily separated by a knife blade. Mica is also on the low end of the Mohs hardness scale, at 2-2.5, so you can probably scratch it with your fingernail. Mica is often found in association with granite, or granite pegmatites.
Is schist the same as mica schist?
No. Mica schist is a schist with a preponderance of mica minerals. There are also chlorite schists, talc schist, and so on.
What is a Pompeii specularium?
Well, a Specularium was a kind of proto-glasshouse (aka greenhouse), so I assume a Pompeii Specularium was one from Pompeii. They used thin sheets of mica, rather than glass, to cover the plants with.
Is the material mica a poor conductor of heat?
mica is a plastice, so it is a poor conductor of heat and electricity. Mica is a mineral, not a plastic. But you're correct about its insulating properties.
Is Mica a solid liquid or gas?
Mica is a solid
