What else can I help you with?
Matter in which particles are arranged in repeating geometric patterns is a?
That type of substance is called a crystal.
What are the differences of crystal and mineral formation?
Mineral crystal formation is a naturally occurring process of inorganic material. Crystal formation can occur in organic material as well, but would not be considered mineralogical crystal formation.
What is a mineral with the same crystal system as salt?
Fluorite belongs to the same crystal system as salt - the cubic (also known as the isometric) crystal system.
Is maple sugar a mineral?
No. It is a carbohydrate. Salt would be an example of a mineral.
What is pure substnce?
A substance made entirely of one type of molecule and crystal structure. Sugar, common salt, and sulphur would all be good examples.
What mineral property is determined by the number and angle of crystal faces?
I believe the answer would be the crystal system, but the crystal system is based on the angles and length of the axis of the crystal. The axis length and the angle at which they meet would affact the number and angle of the crystal faces.
What is a naturally occurring inorganic substance with a definite chemical composition and crystal structure called?
A mineral is a naturally occurring inorganic substance with a specific chemical composition and orderly internal structure. Minerals are the building blocks of rocks and are defined by their unique physical and chemical properties.
What is the opposite of a mineral?
The opposite of a mineral would be a non-mineral or a substance that is not classified as a mineral, such as organic matter or man-made materials.
How would you put mineral in a sentence?
mineral is any chemical substance occuring naturally in earth crust
Is white sugar a pure substance or mixture?
There are many types of sugar but, if you are describing one type of sugar and not a mixture of many sugars it would be a pure substance.
What would you see if you could examine a mineral with a powerful microscope that shows atoms and ions?
If you could examine a mineral with a powerful microscope that reveals atoms and ions, you would see the arrangement of individual atoms within the crystal lattice structure of the mineral. This would give you insight into the bonding between atoms, the types of elements present, and the overall crystal morphology of the mineral at a microscopic level.
Suppose you find a mineral crystal that is as tall as you arewhat kinds of environmental factors would cause such a crystalto form?
The presence of hot fluids causes the mineral crystals to become extremely large.
