∙ 14y agoEach mineral has a specific chemical composition and is different from the other minerals by some physical properties. Chemical properties: chemical composition, solubility in water or acids, reaction with some reagents, etc. Physical properties: color, luster, radioactivity, density, Mohs hardness, refraction index (and other optical characteristics), transparency, fluorescence, X-ray diffraction data, etc.

Why cant you rely on any single test or property when you are trying to identify a mineral?
Different minerals can share many, but not all, mineral characteristics. Characteristics would include hardness, streak color, crystal shape, reactions to acids, flame tests, density, and others.
Is the mechanical advantage a physical quantity?
Mechaqnical properties are physical properties of materials.
What are three physical properties of changing in color of leaves?
What are physical properties of leaves changing colors
Difference between chemical and physical change?
A chemical change is when the chemical properties of a substance changes and a physical change is when the chemical properties stay the same but the physical properties (shape, temperature etc...)
Characteristic of a substance that can be measured or observed without changing the identity of the material?
I believe that you are referring to physical properties. They are observed without changing composition of the substance. Physical properties are more obvious things like colour, shape, etc.
