A mineral hasn't an atomic number.
What else can I help you with?
What subatomic particle is related the atomic number of an element?
protons, no. of protons is equal to the atomic number of an element.
Does STONE have an atomic number?
No, stones are typically made up of minerals or compounds which do not have atomic numbers. Atomic numbers are unique identifiers for elements in the periodic table.
How are mass number and atomic number of an element related?
The mass number is always greater than or equal to the atomic number. Beyond that it's not really possible to say.
How is the atomic number of an atom related to the number of protons in the nucleus of that atom?
they're equal
Are the atomic mass and atomic number directly proportional to each other?
No, atomic mass and atomic number are not directly proportional to each other. Atomic mass represents the average mass of isotopes of an element, while atomic number represents the number of protons in an atom's nucleus. These values are related but not directly proportional.
How is cleavage related to a mineral's atomic structure?
Cleavage is the way a mineral breaks along planes of weakness in its atomic structure. The number and orientation of cleavage planes are determined by the arrangement of atoms in the mineral's crystal lattice. Minerals with strong atomic bonds tend to have poor or no cleavage, while those with weaker bonds exhibit good cleavage.
When a mineral splits into pieces that smooth and flat it is called?
Cleavage. Minerals with cleavage break along specific planes, resulting in smooth and flat surfaces. The number and angle of cleavage planes depend on the mineral's atomic structure.
What are the distinguishing characteristics of cleavage in minerals and how does it affect their physical properties?
Cleavage in minerals refers to the way they break along specific planes due to their atomic structure. The number and angle of cleavage planes can vary, affecting the mineral's physical properties such as its hardness, luster, and ability to split into thin sheets. Minerals with good cleavage tend to break more easily along these planes, while those with poor cleavage may fracture irregularly.
Minerals may break across planes due to their atomic arrangements What is the term used for this type of break?
When minerals break along certain planes, it is known as cleavage. Typically, the pieces will be the same form and be bounded by smooth, flat surfaces. Cleavage is determined by the number of cleavage directions and the angle(s) between them.If the mineral breaks in an irregular, jagged or splintered edge, it is said to have a fracture.
What determines whether a mineral will show cleavage or break irregular fractures?
It means that the chemical bonds of the mineral aren't too strong along the lines and that when you break the mineral it'll break along those lines. please go to www.freewebs.com/mccniu (minerals aren't on it)
Why do minerals cleave only in specific directions?
Minerals cleave in specific directions because of the arrangement of atoms within their crystal structure. Cleavage occurs along planes of weak bonding between layers of atoms, which allows the mineral to break along these specific directions. The orientation and strength of these atomic bonds determine the cleavage pattern of a mineral.
Splitting into pieces with smooth regular surfaces that reflect light?
This process is called cleavage and is a property of minerals. Minerals with cleavage break along planes of weakness into smooth, flat surfaces that reflect light. Cleavage is a result of the arrangement of atoms within the mineral, and the number and orientation of cleavage planes can vary between different minerals.
How atomic number related isotope?
Atomic number is not related to isotopes.
The tendency of minerals to break along a smooth flat surface?
Cleavages
How percentage abundance is related to atomic number?
Percent abundance is not related to atomic number. Atomic number is the number of protons in the atomic nuclei of an element, and is unique to each element.
How are atomic mass and atomic number related?
The Atomic Mass number is the sum of the atomic number, the number of protons, and the number of neutrons in the nucleus of the atom.
How atomic number is related to proton number?
The atomic number is the number of protons found in the nucleus of an atom.
