What else can I help you with?
The single property that can be used to identify any minerals is?
There really isn't one single property, there are multiple properties that need to be used to diagnose a mineral.
Each mineral has a characteristic density?
Density is a physical property of minerals that can be used for identification. It is calculated by dividing the mass of the mineral by its volume. Different minerals have unique densities due to variations in their chemical composition and crystalline structure.
Why do some minerals glow when illuminated with ultraviolet light?
Minerals glow under ultraviolet light due to a phenomenon called fluorescence. This occurs when certain minerals absorb UV radiation and then re-emit it as visible light. The specific atomic structure of the mineral is responsible for this unique property.
What are the special properties minerals?
They are the properties that are unique to certain minerals such as flourescence or radioactivity
To omit duplicates from a query use the property sheet and change the Unique Values property to?
the answer of course is Unique Values
What properties of minerals are considered special properties that apply to only a few minerals?
Some special properties of minerals that apply to only a few include fluorescence (ability to emit light when exposed to ultraviolet light), pleochroism (displaying different colors when viewed from different angles), and iridescence (displaying rainbow-like colors). These unique properties can help in identifying specific minerals.
Why does density help identify a mineral?
Density is a physical property that can help identify minerals because different minerals have unique densities. By comparing an unknown mineral's density to the known densities of common minerals, geologists can narrow down the possibilities for identification. This is especially useful when other identifying characteristics are not easily observable.
What two characteristic are unique to all minerals?
Solid, Inorganic
A unique property of DNA is its ability to?
it is duplicate
Are there any unique properties for Sodium?
Its spectral lines would be one unique property.
What property is unique to electromagnetic waves?
One unique property of electromagnetic waves is that they can travel through a vacuum, unlike mechanical waves which require a medium for propagation.
Why might it be helpful to know the specific gravity of a mineral?
Knowing the specific gravity of a mineral can help in mineral identification because it is a unique physical property that can distinguish between different minerals. It can also provide information on the composition and density of the mineral, which can be useful for various scientific and industrial applications.
