∙ 15y agoWhen minerals break, they can either have fracture of cleavage. Fracture is what you're looking for, and like you said, it's what happens when the mineral breaks and leaves uneven surfaces. A good example of a fractured mineral is quartz. Cleavage, on the other hand, occurs when minerals break along weak atomic bonding planes. Cleavage creates your flatter, more geometric surfaces. Look at mica. It creates what look like sheets of paper due to it's excellent cleavage.

A mineral that can be bent without breaking and will stay bent?
A mineral that can be bent without breaking and will stay bent is said to be malleable. This is one of the main properties of metals.
Minerals may break across planes due to their atomic arrangements What is the term used for this type of break?
When minerals break along certain planes, it is known as cleavage. Typically, the pieces will be the same form and be bounded by smooth, flat surfaces. Cleavage is determined by the number of cleavage directions and the angle(s) between them.If the mineral breaks in an irregular, jagged or splintered edge, it is said to have a fracture.
How PCV is done?
PVC or polyvinylchloride is a material used to make raincoats, according to my science teacher. i was learning it today and she said something to do with polymers n bonding you do polymerisation and it requires a high pressure and a catalyst - i used broken pottery.
What is a sentence for plate?
Plate tectonics is a theory that the Earth's crust is divided into many plates that glide over the mantle.He forgot to step on home plate so the umpire said he was out.That necklace is made of gold plate not solid gold.
When an object is being squashed it is said to be in?
It is said to be in a soft shape or in compression.

The tendency of a mineral to split easily along a flat surface is called?
It wil break & produce fragments of d same shape as d parent material bcos it broke on a flat surface
If a mineral breaks unevenly or along curved or irregular surfaces what it is said to break with?
Fracture. When it breaks apart cleanly, that is called Cleavage.
What property describes how a mineral breaks?
The property is referred to as cleavage or fracture, the tendency, or lack of tendency, of a mineral to break along planes of weakness. Some minerals have multiple planes of cleavage. Some have none, and are said to exhibit fracture.Cleavage is the tendency of a mineral to break along flat surfaces. The way in which a mineral breaks depends on how its atoms are bonded, or joined together. In a mineral that displays cleavage, the bonds of the crystal structure are weaker in the directions in which the mineral breaks.fracture is the tendency of a mineral to break into irregular pieces. Some minerals such as quartz break into pieces with curved surfaces. Other minerals may break differently-perhaps into splinters or into rough or jagged pieces. In a mineral that displays fracture, the bonds that join the atoms are fairly equal in strength in all directions. The mineral does not break along flat surfaces because there are no particular directions ofweakness in its crystal structure.
What is the tendency of a mineral to break along parallel planar surfaces called?
Cleavage
How 42 pigs get into 7 buckets in uneven number?
Uneven does not necessarily mean odd. It can also mean unequal. So, buckets with 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 pigs can be said to have an uneven number in each.
When one section of a mineral is the same as another section of the same mineral it is said to be a what?
Homogeneous
When minerals break along other than cleavage surfaces they are said to have what?
They are said to exhibit fracture instead of cleavage.
What is broken when its name is said?
a secret
What determines whether a mineral will show cleavage or break irregular fractures?
It means that the chemical bonds of the mineral aren't too strong along the lines and that when you break the mineral it'll break along those lines. please go to www.freewebs.com/mccniu (minerals aren't on it)
Minerals are said to (blank) if they do not show cleavage when broken?
Solids that are amorphous. Of which perhaps glass is the best known example. [But glass is not a mineral] Materials such as TiO2 are amorphous solids.
Because mineral do not come from living things they are said to be?
inorganic
