What else can I help you with?
Are there any minerals in an atom?
An atom is the smallest bit of matter that isn't a sub-atomic particle. Minerals are made of atoms.
Some minerals with closely packed atom structure have a high what?
Some minerals with closely packed atom structure have a high density.
What are solids that have repeating atom patterns are?
Crystals.
What is a natural force that few minerals show?
Atom
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).
Are geometric forms of minerals produced by repeating patterns of Atoms is called what?
Crystals.
What is the physical shape of a minerals atom?
All atoms are a fuzzy, indistinct shape.
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.
How can you tell which minerals atom are bonded more closely?
Probably buy telling which mineral is denser
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.
Can minerals grow in a unpredictable patterns?
Yes, minerals can grow in unpredictable patterns due to various environmental factors such as temperature, pressure, and the availability of chemical elements. These factors can lead to variations in crystal structure, growth rates, and the presence of impurities, resulting in unique and irregular formations. Additionally, changes in the surrounding conditions during the mineral's formation can further contribute to these unpredictable patterns.
