The molecular weight and percentage composition of the component atoms (Gold weighs more than copper even though they are chemically similar) and the packing structure (how much wasted space is there in the crystal?)

Does the density of a mineral depend on the size on the mineral.?

No, it doesn't.


Maximum bulk density can be occur?

bulk density depend on that material from which soil formed. so maximum bulk density depend on particle density of that mineral. Therefore,we can only tapped the soil upto perticle density. so maximum bulk density may be occur at equal to paricle density.

The properties of a mineral depends on?

The properties of a mineral depend on its chemical composition and atomic structure. These properties include hardness, color, luster, cleavage, and density. They can vary widely between different types of minerals.


How can density help identify a mineral?

Each mineral has a characteristic density (or range of densities), so if the measured density is a close match to a mineral you know, it MAY be that mineral; if it doesn't match, it is something different.


How do you calculate mineral volume?

Mineral density should know. Weight / density = volume


What of a mineral will determine if it floats or sinks in water?

The density of the mineral compared to the density of water will determine if it floats or sinks. If the mineral has a lower density than water, it will float; if it has a higher density, it will sink.

What is the density of a mineral sample?

The density of a mineral sample is a measure of its mass per unit volume. It can be calculated by dividing the mass of the sample by its volume. The density of a mineral sample is a characteristic property that can help in identifying the mineral.


What determines the density and specific gravity of a mineral?

The density of a mineral is determined by its chemical composition and packing of atoms in its crystal structure. Specific gravity, which is the ratio of a mineral's density to the density of water, is a measure of how heavy a mineral is compared to an equal volume of water. Both properties can provide information about a mineral's identity and help distinguish it from other minerals.
