sorry i do not know
I believe the answer would be the crystal system, but the crystal system is based on the angles and length of the axis of the crystal. The axis length and the angle at which they meet would affact the number and angle of the crystal faces.
Cleavage is a physical characteristic determined by the arrangement of atoms within a mineral. Cleavage describes how a mineral breaks along planes of weakness due to its atomic structure, creating smooth, flat surfaces. The number and orientation of these planes are unique to each mineral.
Yes, sulfur is a chemical element (atomic number 16) found in nature as a mineral called sulfur or native sulfur. It is not typically considered a mineral in the traditional geological sense, but it can form crystal structures similar to minerals.
A mineral that breaks into smooth pieces when a tool such as a hammer is used is said to have cleavage. Cleavage is the way a mineral breaks along planes of weakness in its crystal structure, resulting in smooth, flat surfaces. The number and orientation of these cleavage planes are specific to each mineral and can help in identifying the mineral.
The tendency of a mineral to break along flat surfaces is called cleavage. Cleavage occurs due to the alignment of weak atomic bonds within the mineral's crystal structure, allowing it to break easily along specific planes. The quality of cleavage can be described by the number and orientation of the cleavage planes in a mineral.

The number of atoms in a mineral varies depending on the type of mineral and its chemical composition. Typically, minerals are composed of repeating units called unit cells that contain multiple atoms. The number of atoms in a mineral can be determined by its chemical formula and the arrangement of atoms within its crystal lattice.
Colour - however, this can be a very misleading property. Transparency - Is the crystal transparent, translucent or opaque Lustre - how shiney is the crystal is, there are various different types of lustre. Hardness - Expressed in a number between 0 and 10 on the Moh scale. Streak - the colour of the mineral in powdered form. Easily testable by scratching the mineral on a porcelain plate. Cleavage - Very characteristic to a mineral is what the preferred cleavage is. Mode of occurrence - Is it like needles, fibre, tabular, prismatic, etc.

Color-- this varies depending on the chemicals present and is the least informative in identifying a mineral varietyLuster-- what the surface looks like in the lightSpecific Gravity-- how heavy it feels, heftCrystal Form-- shape of crystal, shape the mineral would take if it had room to grow in a cavity, not massive -- some minerals have a number of different crystal shapesCleavage-- pattern when mineral is broken -- in planes or conchoidalFractureTenacity - toughness, how cohesive the mineral is, if it falls apartHardness-- what it can scratch & what scratches itTransparency- The ability to transmit light. Depending on a number of things, rocks & minerals can also transmit light. Many rocks that are opaque when in a chunk, are translucent when cut into very thin slices. Gems stones are often valued on how clear, or transparent they are.
Cleavage is the way a mineral breaks along planes of weakness in its atomic structure. The number and orientation of cleavage planes are determined by the arrangement of atoms in the mineral's crystal lattice. Minerals with strong atomic bonds tend to have poor or no cleavage, while those with weaker bonds exhibit good cleavage.
