What physical properties of minerals can be expressed in numbers?
Density, boiling point, melting point, concentration etc...
What is the difference between a primary diagnostic and a special property of a mineral?
A primary property is one that all minerals possess, whereas a special property is found in only one or a few minerals.
Why isn't luster a good property to identify minerals?

What property do nearly all rocks have in common?
they contain minerals
Why is magnetism considered to be a property only applied to certain minerals?
i dont no
Which properties of minerals can be expressed in numbers?
The crystallographic axes of minerals are expressed as numbers. As such these numbers can also be used to describe the orientation of mineral cleavage planes. The Mohs hardness, specific gravity, and melting point of minerals are also properties that can be expressed numerically.
What properties of minerals is expressed in numbers?
hardness
What 2 properties of minerals can be expressed in numbers?
Two properties of minerals that can be expressed in numbers are hardness and specific gravity. Hardness is usually determined using the Mohs scale and is expressed as a number between 1 (softest) and 10 (hardest). Specific gravity is the ratio of a mineral's density compared to the density of water and is expressed as a number.
What physical properties of minerals can be expressed in numbers?
Density, boiling point, melting point, concentration etc...
Every irrational number can be expressed as a quotient of integers?
The statement is false; in fact, no irrational number can be exactly expressed as a quotient of integers because this property is the definition of rational numbers.
Which unique property of minerals is evident in a compass?
Magnetism is a unique property of minerals used in a compass.
Are minerals considered real property?
Minerals in the ground are treated as real property, but, after removed from the land, they become personal property.
The numbers that are expressed using exponents?
All numbers can be expressed using exponents.
How is rational numbers different from irrational numbers?
Rational numbers can be expressed as fractions whereas irrational numbers can not be expressed as fractions.
What is rerational and irrational numbers?
Rational numbers can be expressed as fractions whereas irrational numbers can not be expressed as fractions
How are irrational numbers used?
Irrational numbers can not be expressed as fractions whereas rational numbers can be expressed as fractions
