What is fracture of diamond?
The fracture of diamond is "conchoidal or shell-like," according to Wikipedia. Industrial diamonds are more easily broken apart based on the nature of the crystal's fracture lines. Gem-quality diamonds are more generally immune to being broken apart, because they are cut, polished and set in ways to minimize exposure to the natural fracture lines in the crystal.
Is the way a mineral splits or breaks apart enough to enable you to identify it?
The cleavage of a mineral is the characteristic manner in which it splits along crystallographic structural lines or planes. Cleavage alone is not sufficient to be able to identify a given mineral, but it is a solid clue which, when combined with a few other characteristics, will allow an investigator to identify a mineral. The notation of cleavage will eliminate some minerals and lead the way to being able to categorize a given mineral as something else. A link can be found below.
Are Homogeneous mixture particles spread evenly?
no
Which is stronger tungsten or titanium or diamond?
Diamond is the hardest natural mineral. Your question implies strength, not hardness. Strength implies molecular cohesion. You could devise an experiment to pull a diamond apart, but it would be a nearly impossible experiment, because anything you attach to a diamond would not be strong enough to effectively pull the diamond apart.
What is the family name of lead?

Does a mineral that does not split apart evenly has the property of fracture.?
True!
What type of fracture is it when a mineral splits evenly?
The type of fracture formed when a mineral splits evenly is called a cleavage. An example is when mica breaks apart in sheets.
How a mineral breaks apart when it does not split evenly?
The two way by which minerals break are called cleavage and fracture. Cleavage is when a mineral breaks along a plane whose atomic bonds are weaker than in the rest of the mineral. Fracture is when a mineral is forced to be broken in an unnatural direction.
Is the way a mineral looks when it breaks apart in an irregular way?
Fracture
Most minerals do not split apart evenly instead they have a characteristic type of?
CLEAVAGE
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.
Graphite is a mineral made up of carbon atoms that form thin sheetsbut the sheets are only weakly held together predict whether grap will break apart with fracture or cleavage?
fracture i think naw i dnt kno it
How do scientist tell one minerals apart?
You can tell if a mineral is a mineral by its characteristics: *color *luster *streak *hardness *cleavage/fracture *crystalline structure
A stress that causes a material to fracture where the fracture opens or spreads apart is?
tension
What is fracture mean in earthquake?
Mineralogically speaking, fracture means the characteristic appearance of the surface of a freshly broken mineral or rock. It can also mean the manner in which a mineral or rock naturally breaks.Synonyms of fracture include, but are not limited to: splinter, smash, split, rupture, and shatter.
What does fracture mean?
Fracture means a type of break. Not the same as a broken bone. A broken bone is when the bone snaps and the two peices of bone come apart. A fracture is when the bone breaks but does not come apart/disconnect.
Which French emperor's surname suggests a fracture?
Napoleon as in Bone apart.
