What property of a mineral is determined by its chemical composition?
The color of a mineral sample is determined by its chemical composition
True false hardness is determined by how easily a mineral can be scratched?
True, hardness is determined by how easily a mineral can be scratched. The Mohs scale is commonly used to measure hardness, with higher numbers indicating greater hardness.
What determines the chemical properties and the physical properties of a mineral?
The chemical properties of a mineral are determined by its chemical composition, specifically the types of elements it contains and how they are bonded together. The physical properties of a mineral are determined by its internal atomic structure, including how atoms are arranged, how they bond, and how they interact with light and other forces.
The density of a mineral is determined by its mass and?
volume. Density is calculated by dividing the mass of the mineral by its volume. This property helps identify minerals and is often used in mineral classification and identification.
How many atoms are in one mineral?
The number of atoms in a mineral varies depending on the type of mineral and its chemical composition. Typically, minerals are composed of repeating units called unit cells that contain multiple atoms. The number of atoms in a mineral can be determined by its chemical formula and the arrangement of atoms within its crystal lattice.
Mineral property that cannot be determined by inspection is?
crystal shape
Which is an example if a mineral whose streak cannot be determined with a porcelin streak plate?
Hematite, gold, feldspar or magnetite
What property of a mineral is determined by its chemical composition?
The color of a mineral sample is determined by its chemical composition
Which mineral property can be determined simply by observation?
Color is a mineral property that can be determined simply by observation.
Physical properties of a mineral can be seen or measured in some way?
Yes, physical properties of a mineral are observable characteristics such as color, luster, hardness, density, and cleavage that can be determined through visual inspection or physical measurements. These properties can help in identifying and distinguishing different minerals.
Would a mineral of a hardness of 9 leave a streak Why or why not?
A mineral with a hardness of 9, such as corundum, would not leave a streak on a streak plate because it is harder than the plate itself, which typically has a hardness of about 6. A harder mineral cannot scratch a softer material, so it wouldn't produce a streak. Streak is determined by the powder left behind when a mineral is scraped against a harder surface, and since the mineral is too hard, it cannot do so.
What can a mineral not be?
A mineral cannot be made from living organisms or have a uniform chemical composition that varies significantly from one specimen to another. Additionally, a mineral cannot be a synthetic or man-made material.
Those characteristics that can be determined on superficial inspection of an individual are known as?
phenotypic
What can minerals not be?
A mineral cannot be organic. A mineral cannot be made by or composed of life forms.
How do you beat an expired inspection ticket?
you cannot
What mineral cannot be scratched by another mineral?
A diamond. Actually, a diamond can be scratched my other minerals.
How long past inspection can you drive?
Legallly you cannot operate vehicle with an expired inspection sticker
