What are the 5 characteristics for a mineral?
1.Color 2.Luster 3.Crystal Shape 4.Flourscent 5.Hardness 6.Density
How do you describe the properties of rocks and minerals?
Rocks and minerals are classified by such properties as chemical composition, radioactivity, phosphorescence, grain size, hardness, color, streak, fluorescence, chemical reactiveness, crystal structure, cleavage, density, luster, habit, fracture, optical properties, and opacity.
What is a diagnostic feature of Chert?
Chert typically exhibits a smooth, conchoidal fracture surface that is characterized by concentrically radiating ridges and wavy lines. This distinctive feature is a result of the microcrystalline structure of chert.
What are a rock's properties?
Rocks are classified based on their mineral composition, color, texture, and hardness. They can be categorized as igneous, sedimentary, or metamorphic based on how they were formed. Rocks can vary in density, porosity, permeability, and can exhibit different physical and chemical properties.
What two factors control the properties of a mineral?
The chemical composition and the internal structure of a mineral control its properties. The specific arrangement of atoms and the types of chemical bonds present determine characteristics such as hardness, color, and cleavage.
How much inches high is obsidian?
Obsidian is not identified, classified, or described by height. It is described by its texture, fracture, hardness, and chemical composition.
7 properties of a mineral?
color, hardness, chemical composition, system of crystallization, refractive index, luster, magnetic properties, radioactivity, fracture characteristics, etc.
Which mineral shows no cleavage has a hardness of 7 and a composition of SiO2?
The mineral you are describing is quartz. Quartz has a hardness of 7 on the Mohs scale, meaning it is quite hard, and it does not exhibit cleavage, instead breaking with a conchoidal fracture. Its chemical composition is silicon dioxide (SiO2). Quartz is one of the most abundant minerals in the Earth's crust and is commonly found in various geological environments.
Which mineral shows no cleavage has a hardness of 6.5 and a composition of SIO?
The mineral that fits this description is quartz. It has a hardness of 7 on the Mohs scale, does not show cleavage, and has a chemical composition of SiO2.

Is hardness broke with a pattern?
No that is fracture.
What physical properties of mineral is?
Physical properties of a mineral are Influenced largely by chemical composition and atomic structure of the mineral.
What are some observable properties of rocks?
by using a method which is "king Phillip came over from great Spain" this means "kingdom phylum class order family genus species"
