It wil break & produce fragments of d same shape as d parent material bcos it broke on a flat surface
Yes. A mineral that breaks into relatively straight lines and faces is said to possess cleavage, if it breaks into irregular uneven curved surfaces, the term is fracture.
The tendency of a mineral to split easily along a flat surface is called
A mineral's ability to split easily along planes of weakness, producing flat surfaces.
On Moh's scale Mica group minerals ranges 2.5 to 3.0 in hardness.
Pyrite is weathered by both exposure to sunlight and to rain or temperature variations. The mineral is relatively easily weathered.
conductor
You could say it had plane cleavages. What happens is that bonds between the molecular planes are much weaker than those in the plane of the cleavage. Graphite and mica would be good examples.
Breaking down of large macromolecules to monomers is known as catabolism. More the substance is broken down, larger its surface area gets. A particle with more surface area can be easily be metabolized by our body. Enzymes can act with full tendency on particles that have larger surface area and then an be easily digested and absorbed by out boy.
in the day, the ocean cools the atmosphere, and at night, the water is cooled by the air. this is all because of the property of water that it has a tendency to not gain/lose heat easily.
Hardness is the measure of how easily a mineral is scratched.
Magnetism of a substance depends on the movements of the surface electrons. We know that when a charged particle moves in a direction it generates a field in the perpendicular to the direction of motion. this field has the tendency to attract iron particles and thus called a magnetic field. All metals have free surface electrons but only some has the tnedency to magnetise easily. Read about diamagnetism, paramagnetism and ferromagnetism.
Talc is the softest mineral and can be scratched by any other mineral.
Rocks with easily visible mineral crystals are called macrocrystalline or said to possess a phaneritic texture.

no
hardness is how easily a mineral can be scratched
The term for this is "hardness".
