Does a mineral have crystal form but no cleavage?
All minerals have a crystal form, but not all have cleavage.
How many planes can contain one specific line?
An infinite number of planes. Picture a line and now picture planes going in every direction through the line,
How many planes hijack in India?
i think 4
How many warship in India?
dose it matter?
How many employees dose LG Electronics Worldwide have?
91254
How many planes of cleavage does hornblende have?
it a double chain silicate.... figure it out. Two I think.
How many cleavage does halite have?
Halite, which is the mineral form of sodium chloride (NaCl), has three perfect cleavages. These cleavages occur at right angles, reflecting its cubic crystal structure. As a result, halite commonly breaks into cube-shaped fragments.
What are two minerals with cleavage?
Halite and Calcite. Halite has what is known as cubiccleavage, where there is cleavage in three directions at 90 degree angles. Calcite has what is known as rhombohedral cleavage, where there is cleavage in three directions but at 120 and 60 degree angles.
Tendency to break along smooth flat surfaces?
Many minerals have "cleavage" that causes them to split on flat cleavage planes. Such minerals include micas (muscovite, biotite. phlogopite), calcite, gypsum, and feldspars. Cleavage is the result of the minerals' crystal structure that has weaker chemical bonds aligned in planes.
One way to test a mineral is to break it and see how many directions of what it has?
cleavage....
What chemical classification group dose halite belong to?
Halite belongs to the mineral group halides.
How many planes of symmetry dose a triangular prism have?
It must have at least one.
How many directions of cleavage do the feldspar minerals have?
Two directions of cleavage, at 90 degrees to each other.
How many cleavage planes forms a silicate sheet?
A silicate sheet has one cleavage plane, which allows it to split easily along this flat surface. This cleavage plane is a result of the structure of silicon and oxygen atoms arranged in sheets within the mineral.
How many planes does calcite have?
Calcite commonly exhibits three notable cleavage planes, which are oriented at approximately 75-degree angles to one another. This characteristic cleavage is a key feature that helps in identifying calcite among other minerals. Additionally, calcite can exhibit a rhombohedral crystal habit due to the arrangement of its atoms. Overall, its cleavage and crystal structure contribute to its unique optical properties.
How many sides does halite have?
halite has 6 sides
What are crystal form and cleavage?
Crystals come in different shapes, determined by how the molecules of compounds from which they are made can be packed together. For instance a quarts crystal is hexagonal in shape, while galena and pyrites crystals are cubic. There are six different crystal shapes or forms determined by the axes and degree of symmetry of the crystal and the angles at which the axes intersect. Subordinate to the overall crystal shapes, many crystalline substances have within them planes of weakness along which the crystal may break these lines are related to the crystals symmetry and caused by how the molecules are aligned within the crystal. This is cleavage.
