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.
What are mica's special properties?
. The commercially important micas are muscovite and phlogopite, which are used in a variety of applications. Mica's value is based on several of its unique physical properties. The crystalline structure of mica forms layers that can be split or delaminated into thin sheets usually causing foliation in rocks. These sheets are chemically inert, dielectric, elastic, flexible, hydrophilic, insulating, lightweight, platy, reflective, refractive, resilient, and range in opacity from transparent to opaque
The cleavage properties of mica result from what?
weak bonds between flat layers
What physical properties distinguish biotite from muscovite?
Both are platy, silicate, mica group minerals with perfect cleavage in one direction.
What are the properties of special properties?
Special properties are unusual properties a mineral may have that most minerals don't.
What is micas density?
Mica is a silicate sheet often used for its properties in the electronics field. Mica's density is 2883 micrograms per cubic millimeter.
What colour is mica?
Mica is invaluable in the electrical industry because of its unique combination of physical, chemical and thermal properties, low power loss factor, dielectric constant and dielectric strength.Other names of MicaCat-goldCat-silverGlimmerGlistKaten-silberKatzen-silberKatzengoldOr des chatsRhomboidal Mica
What are the properties of gneiss?
gneiss has many properties depending on the type of gneiss it is but some common properties are fine or coarse grains, metamorphic "bands" on the rock, and it's composition which is feldspar,quartz, mica, and hornblende.
What is the difference in silicates such as asbestos mica and quartz?
The difference is in their chemical composition and crystal structure which gives them different properties.
What is the definition of special properties?
The definition of special properties are the unique features of a substance. They are commonly derived from other intrinsic and extrinsic properties.
What are some special properties of sulphur?
Some of the sulfur special properties are odorless, tasteless and its color
What is the freezing point of biotite?
Biotites comprise a range of different black mica minerals with different chemical composition and physical properties.
