A mineral that breaks along a weakly bonded plane is called "cleavage". Cleavage is the tendency of a mineral to break along smooth, flat surfaces determined by its internal atomic structure.
When a mineral breaks along a weakly-bonded plane, it is called cleavage. Cleavage is a property that describes how a mineral breaks along its crystal structure.
When a mineral breaks along a weakly bonded plane, it is called cleavage. Cleavage is the tendency of a mineral to break along specific planes of weakness due to the arrangement of atoms in the crystal lattice.
Cleavage is the tendency of materials to split along definite structural planes, yielding smooth surfaces. An example is shales or shists.
It exhibits cleavage, which is the tendency of a mineral to break along certain planes of weakness determined by its atomic structure. Cleavage is a property seen in minerals with strong bonds in certain directions but weaker bonds in other directions. The resulting flat, shiny surfaces are a result of the breakage along these weakly bonded planes.
When a mineral breaks with rough edges, it is called a "fracture." This is different from cleavage, which is when a mineral breaks along smooth, flat planes. Fracture can be described as conchoidal (shell-like), uneven, or fibrous.
It is called cleavage.
