crystal
What is a solid geometric shape formed by a mineral?
crystal
A solid geometric shape formed by a mineral is a what?
Cristal's
Is a mineral that does not appear to have smooth faces still a crystal?
Yes, a mineral can still be classified as a crystal even if it does not exhibit smooth faces. Crystals are defined by their orderly internal arrangement of atoms, which results in a specific geometric shape, regardless of surface smoothness. Factors such as growth conditions, environmental influences, or physical damage can lead to rough or irregular surfaces while still retaining the crystalline structure internally.
What is a solid geometric shape formed by a mineral called?
I think you are referring to a crystal.
A geometric body or a geometric shape that contains space and have only one surface?
A sphere
What is a shape that is a geometric solid with only one surface and that one surface is curved and this shape has no base what is it?
a sphere
Arrangement of the ions of a mineral into a pattern is what shape?
Arrangement of ions into a pattern in a mineral is referred to as crystal lattice structure. This structure gives minerals their characteristic geometric shape and physical properties.
What is the difference between the crystal faces and cleavage faces?
cleavage surface are smooth and shiny as the fracture is due to weakness in the bonds between the atoms rather than a breakage. Crystal face is where the crystal development such as twinning take place.
Why does salt crystals have smooth surface?
Salt crystals have a smooth surface because of the regular, repeating arrangement of sodium and chlorine ions in the crystal lattice structure. This arrangement forms an orderly pattern with minimal irregularities and causes the crystal to have a smooth appearance on a macroscopic scale. Additionally, the ionic bonds between sodium and chlorine ions are strong, leading to a stable and compact crystal structure.
