Primarily the cooling rate of the mineral compound.The faster the rate cooling smaller the crystal size of the mineral.Consequently, large crystal specimins are derived from igneous bodies with a very slow rate of cooling.

What is the dependent variable for growing crystals?

The dependent variable for growing crystals is typically the size, shape, or clarity of the crystals. These characteristics are directly influenced by the independent variables in the experiment, such as temperature, concentration of the solution, or type of crystal-growing substance.


What are two size-dependent properties and two size independent properties of an iron nail?

Size dependent properties include mass and volume. Size independent properties include density and malleability.


Explain why density is a size independent property how does it differ from a size dependent property?

Size independent property is physical properties that do not change when an object changes. Size dependent is physical properties that change when the size of an object changes.


How does the rate of cooling affect the size of copper sulphate Chrystals?

Faster cooling rates tend to produce smaller copper sulfate crystals, as they do not have enough time to grow larger. Slower cooling rates allow for more time for crystal growth, resulting in larger crystals. The size of crystals formed is often dependent on the rate at which the solution cools.


What substance will increase the size or weight of an crystal?

I have tried to make a crystal before and it work here is the procedure First heat up a cup of water for about two minutes Second poor in two tea spoons of Epsom Salt Third stir with a spoon Forth put in a sunny area(near a window is fine.) Then you are done.

What steps can you take to maximize crystal size?

There are two things that you can do to maximize the growth of a crystal. You can place a rock inside crystal solution or put the solution inside an eggshell. Calcium carbonite from the rocks and eggshell encourages crystal growth.

What are three size dependent physical properties?

Three size-dependent physical properties are surface area, melting point, and optical properties (such as color or transparency). These properties can change as the size of a material decreases, leading to different behaviors and characteristics at the nanoscale.


What is the main factor that affects the size of minerals in igneous rocks?

Crystal size is largely dependent on the time the magma takes to cool and solidify. Slow cooling equals large crystals. Fast cooling equals small crystals.


What are three things that are the same size as Stegosaurus's brain?

Is density size dependent or size independent?

size independent


What three things determine the size of crystals?

What determines if a property is size-dependent?

So a size dependent property is going to be a property that duh.. depends on the size. Like mass, volume etc. A size independent property is going to be a property that is intrinsic to the object, regardless of size. For example: the color of something. if you have a purple flower, the color of the flower does not change if you have two or three or four of them. density of an object is also another one.


What are the difference between size independent and size dependent?

If something is size dependent then some important aspect of that thing is influenced strongly by its size. If something is size independent, then its size does not influence any important aspect.


What effect the size of crystal?

Temperature.


What determines if a property is size- dependent?

A property is considered size-dependent if it changes as the size of the system, such as the number of atoms or molecules, changes. For example, properties like surface area, volume, and heat capacity are size-dependent because they vary with the extent of the system. Conversely, size-independent properties, like density and melting point, remain constant regardless of the system's size.
