How is cleavage related to a mineral's atomic structure?
Cleavage is related to the minerals atomic structure because minerals are arranged in crystal lattices . It's the shape of these lattices that determine the mineral's cleavage.
Which of the following mineral is used more for its chemical components than for its physical properties?
Atomic Structure
Are man made diamonds a mineral?
According to Wikipedia's definition of mineral, no. "A mineral is a naturally occurring solid chemical substance formed through biogeochemical processes, having characteristic chemical composition, highly ordered atomic structure, and specific physical properties."
What does the Newton atomic structure explain?
Any link between Newton and the atomic structure.

The atomic structure.
A crystal structure is characteristic of what?
atomic packing arrangements of ions, atoms etc. A crystal structure is a characteristic of a mineral.
What are three qualities of a mineral?
A Chemical composition, a definite internal atomic structure and an external form.
What are three things that define a mineral?
Atomic structure, Chemical composition and External form.
Why is a diamond so hard?

Which minerals lack an ordered atomic arrangement or crystal structure?
Mineraloids are mineral like substances that do not have a crystalline structure. Mercury is an example.
What does the crystal structure look like?
this question need more detail. first of all, a crystal's external appearance is merely a representation of its ordered internal atomic structure. to look at crystal structure in general, I recommend researching the 14 Bravais Lattices. Depending on what crystal you are talking about, its internal atomic structure will be different.
