The repeating patterns are the latticework of the crystalline structure.

Minerals that have a sulfur atom surrounded by four oxygen atoms?

The mineral you are referring to is sulfate. Sulfate minerals contain a sulfate ion, which consists of a sulfur atom bonded to four oxygen atoms. Examples of sulfate minerals include gypsum (CaSO4·2H2O) and barite (BaSO4).

Some minerals with a closely packed atom structure have a high?

Some minerals with a closely packed atom structure have a high density. This close packing of atoms results in a tightly packed crystal lattice, leading to a high atomic mass per unit volume. Examples of such minerals include diamond and gold.

What is a visible shape of a minerals atom pattern?

The visible shape of a mineral's pattern is called a crystal. Solidified minerals that are from a molten state have smooth faced, angular crystals.


What kinds of things are minerals found in?

A mineral is a non-organic substance made of a single type of atom; as opposed to a compound or a rock. So a mineral is something like a diamond which is only made of the carbon atom, whereas a rock is something like limestone which is made of multiple minerals.


How do seashells get their patterns?

Seashells get their patterns through a process called biomineralization, where minerals are deposited in a specific arrangement as the shell grows. The patterns can be influenced by genetics, environmental factors, and the behavior of the organism building the shell. Different species of mollusks have evolved unique patterns for protection and camouflage.
