This is the definition of a crystal, which is a mineral that has atoms with specific repeating patterns. A crystal is a chemical compound formed by natural processes, such as magmatic and metamorphic processes.

What is material formed from nonliving matter?

Material formed from nonliving matter is soil. Organic dead debris and nonliving debris will break down either naturally or with the help of nature to form new soil.

In a cathode ray tube where do the particles originate and what do they move toward?

The particles originate from the Cathode in the neck of the tube. They are liberated by a heater. The electrons thus liberated are attracted by the Anode, by applying a high voltage to it. In a CRT there are several anodes, the largest and biggest is formed by a coating inside the tube towards the screen. This attracts and accelerates the electrons in a stream of particles known as a 'cathode ray'. They carry on in a straight line, once accelerated, until they hit the screen and cause a phosphor coating to glow, on the inside surface of the screen. The cathode ray can be bent from it's course, by using electromagnets arranged around the neck of the tube.


Why do solids becomes more soluble in water as the temperature increases?

Temperature is a measurement of the average kinetic energy on the atomic or molecular level; hotter substances have faster moving particles. Faster moving particles have more energetic collisions with the particles of which solids are formed, which are more able to knock them out of the solid and into the solution, than slower moving particles would be.


How does radiation form?

Radiation is produced by self-generated emanation of a stream of electromagnetic rays in nuclear decay.

What is the name given to the regular pattern in witch an ionic compound is arranged?

The regular pattern in which an ionic compound is arranged is called a crystal lattice structure. It is formed by the repeated arrangement of positively and negatively charged ions in a three-dimensional geometric pattern.


What rock is a sedimentary rock formed from?

Sedimentary rock is so named because it is formed from sediments. The sediments could be particles of rock, sand, minerals, or organic material.


How an electric current formed?

An electric current is formed when a flow of charged particles, usually electrons, moves through a conducting material such as a wire. This flow is generated by a voltage difference, which creates an electric field that pushes the charged particles through the conductor.

What is a special mixture formed when a material dissolves in water?

A special mixture formed when a material dissolves in water is called a solution. In a solution, the material that dissolves is known as the solute, while water is the solvent. The solute particles are dispersed and evenly distributed throughout the solvent, resulting in a homogeneous mixture.
