When quartz is broken it has a conchoidal fracture. Fracture is the appearance of the broken plane of a mineral. A conchodal fracture is described a being curved, and looking like broken glass.
One physical property that can be used to distinguish quartz from amphibole is hardness. Quartz has a hardness of 7 on the Mohs scale, while amphibole minerals like hornblende have a hardness ranging from 5 to 6. Additionally, quartz typically has a glassy luster, while amphibole minerals have a dull to vitreous luster.
Being brittle is a physical property.
Grinding quartz crystals down to produce sand is an example of physical change. When you grind quartz down to sand, you change the physical appearance of the quartz.
It is a physical property.
The word you are looking for is "frangibility." It refers to the physical property of a solid material that allows it to easily break or shatter.
Quartz is silicon dioxide (SiO2); quartz is not a property.

Additionally, quartz typically has a glassy luster, while amphibole minerals have a dull to vitreous luster.
Being brittle is a physical property.
The property of minerals that break with jagged surfaces is called "fracture." This type of breakage occurs when a mineral does not break along cleavage planes but instead produces irregular, rough surfaces. Fracture can be categorized as conchoidal (smooth and curved) or uneven (jagged and rough).
Brittle is indeed a physical property. This physical property affects how a substance may be shaped or how it appears without having an affect on the chemical composition.

The physical property of DDT that contributes to its bioaccumulation in animals is its inability to break down easily. This results in it being stored in the fatty issues of animals.
a property called conchoidal fracture, which is characterized by smooth, curved breakage surfaces similar to those seen on broken glass. This type of fracture is common in minerals like quartz, obsidian, and flint.
physical property
No, the most common mineral group is silicates, which make up over 90% of Earth's crust. Fracture is a physical property of minerals describing how they break when under stress, such as conchoidal fracture in quartz.
