What mineral is a flat mineral with flaky clevage?
Mica forms flat prisms that readily brakes into flakes.
What mineral is flat with flaky cleavage?
The mineral that is flat with flaky cleavage is mica. Mica is a group of silicate minerals that can easily be split into thin sheets or flakes. These sheets have excellent cleavage, making them easily separable into thin layers.
Flat mineral with flaky cleavage?
Biotite Mica would fit this category as would Muscovite, native to Russia as the name implied. (Sheets) oif semi-transparent mica can be peeled right off. the mineral is useful in electrical condensers and also as a form of glass substitute that is heat-resistant, called Isinglass. it is neither Eisen-(Iron) nor Glass, but the name stuck.
A mineral that splits into smooth flat pieces demonstrates this property.?
cleavage
What word is a mineral's ability to split easily along flat surfaces?
Cleavage is a mineral's ability to split easily along flat surfaces due to the arrangement of its atoms in crystal structure.

The flat break of a mineral is called?
Cleavage.
What is a banded mineral?
A banded mineral is a mineral that has grains that are arranged in a particular pattern of flat layers or forms swirls.
What is the splitting of a mineral along flat surfaces?
cleavage
What is the difference between mineral cleavage and mineral fracture.?
Cleavage is the breaking of a mineral along flat surfaces. Fracture, on the hand is just the chipping or "fracture" of a mineral.Cleavage is the tendency to break along flat surfaces, and fracture is the tendency of a mineral to break into irregular pieces.
A mineral that splits into smooth flat pieces demonstrates this property.?
cleavage
What does it mean to have flaky skin?
to have flaky skin
Why a mineral such as topaz can display both cleavage and fracture?
Cleavage is when a mineral breaks into flat pieces. Fracture is when a mineral breaks into irregular pieces. Topaz atom bonds are weaker in some parts and stronger in others. When it is equally strong then it breaks into irregular pieces and if it all weak in a flat line then it will be flat.
What sort of mineral has many flat faces and is symmetrical?
crystal
