Fluorite belongs to the same crystal system as salt - the cubic (also known as the isometric) crystal system.
No, the crystals of a mineral can vary in size depending on factors such as growth conditions and the speed at which the mineral forms. Crystals can range from microscopic to very large sizes, even within the same mineral species.
No, each type of mineral can have its own unique crystal structure determined by its chemical composition and the conditions under which it formed. Different minerals can exhibit a wide variety of crystal structures, leading to the diversity seen in the mineral world.
The crystals will always form according the geometric parameters of the mineral crystal system to which they belong, but the size of the crystals varies depending on the environment in which they form.
Rock salt is typically the most effective at melting ice quickly due to its composition of sodium chloride, which lowers the freezing point of water. Sand, mineral, and cat litter do not have the same melting properties as rock salt.
Any mineral containing fluoride, chloride, bromide or iodide can be called a halide. You may be thinking of halite, which is a mineral form of sodium chloride, the same compound we find in table salt.
A mineral sanitiser is the same as a salt water system. Both use salt and during the electrolysis process they both produce chlorine as the sanitiser.
No. Each mineral has its own structure.
no
Absolutely. For example, Galena and Halite.
no not at all
Yes, each piece of a mineral typically has the same crystal structure, which is defined by the arrangement of atoms within the mineral. This uniformity in crystal structure is what characterizes a specific mineral and distinguishes it from others. However, variations can occur in different samples due to factors like impurities or environmental conditions during formation, but the fundamental crystal structure remains consistent for that mineral type.

No, mineral salt and sea salt are not the same. Mineral salt refers to any salt that contains minerals aside from sodium chloride, whereas sea salt is a type of salt derived from evaporated seawater and typically contains various minerals and elements.
They will dissolve at basically the same time. It depends on the size of crystal of the sugar and salt.
Crystals of a certain mineral have a regular formation of atoms. However, crystals of the same mineral can grow differently. The presence of trace minerals, variations in heat, pressure, and the space that they have to grow in can influence the shape of a crystal. Crystalline structures demonstrate characteristic geographic variations for these reasons.
The crystals will always form according the geometric parameters of the mineral crystal system to which they belong, but the size of the crystals varies depending on the environment in which they form.
