∙ 12y agoAtoms within a mineral are arranged into an orderly geometric spatial arrangement known as crystal structure. There are 14 basic crystal lattices (refered to as the Bravais lattices) which fit into one of 7 crystal system (triclinic, monoclinic, orthorhombic, tetragonal, rhombohedral, hexagonal and cubic) and all observed minerals fit into one crystal lattice and one crystal system. Diamond on the other hand is an allotrope of carbon arranged into an isometric hexoctahedral (Cubic-type) crystal system.

Gas particles move quickly, rapidly bouncing off each other. unlike liquid particles that roll over each other, or particles in solids, which constantly vibrate on the spot.The individual atoms or molecules of a gas or vapour are much further apart than they are in a liquid, while atoms or molecules of solids are so close together that they cannot change places, but they can vibrate in their limited space.Its the vibration of such particles that transfers energy within the substance.If a gas becomes hotter its particles vibrate faster, causing expansion, which then creates rising currents called convection currents. Or, if not allowed to expand (as in a pressure vessel) the pressure will increase due to the more rapid and more frequent impacts of the particles against the walls of the vessel.Convection currents also occur in liquids, but cannot occur in solids.When a blacksmith heats his half-made horseshoe it is because when it is hotter the particles are further apart and it is then easier to shape the metal.Gas molecules move randomly, and Gases have high kinetic energy.

The manner in which members of a population are arranged in a particular area is know as dispersion. There are three main kinds of dispersion, which are clumped dispersion, random dispersion, and uniform dispersion.

Thomson's model does not account for the existence of positively charged particles within the atom. It also does not explain the stability of the atom or the arrangement of electrons within the atom. Additionally, it fails to describe the presence of different energy levels in the atom.
The model used to describe the behavior of very small particles like electrons in an atom is called the quantum mechanical model. This model incorporates principles of quantum mechanics to explain the properties and behavior of particles at atomic and subatomic levels. It replaces the older Bohr model, providing a more accurate description of electron behavior within an atom.

Soil Structure.
A crystal is composed of a repeating pattern of atoms or molecules arranged in a specific and orderly structure. This atomic arrangement creates a lattice structure within the crystal. Therefore, the primary particles present in a crystal are atoms or molecules that form this lattice structure.
The repeating pattern of a mineral's particles in a solid is called its crystal lattice structure. This structure is formed when atoms or ions arrange themselves in a specific, repetitive pattern, giving the mineral its characteristic shape and properties. The regular arrangement of particles within the crystal lattice is what defines the mineral's crystal structure.
Rocks with large particles are called coarse-grained rocks, while rocks with small particles are referred to as fine-grained rocks. The term grain size refers to the size of the individual particles within a rock.
Chemists explain differences in properties or behavior by looking at the molecular structure of substances. Variation in molecular structure can lead to differences in physical, chemical, and biological properties. By understanding how atoms are arranged and interact within molecules, chemists can explain why substances exhibit different characteristics.
