What property of minerals is shown in this situation
Answers
Answer:
Most minerals can be characterized and classified by their unique physical properties: hardness, luster, color, streak, specific gravity, cleavage, fracture, and tenacity
Physical characteristics of minerals
1. External crystal form 2. Cleavage 3. Fracture
4. Luster 5. Color
Explanation:
1) External crystal:
by this means External crystal shape of the individual crystal and what look outside. we know the where thing made of atom and group of atom together is molecules. internal arrangement molecules of the crystal reason being
external of the crystal.
2. Cleavage :
when a crystal breaks it happen due to fracturing. structural weakness internal molecule arrangement that particular area of crystal weak that causes crack.
3. Fracture:
fracture cleaving almost same one but only differs clean happens in plain area of the crystal fracture takes non plain area.
surface is always rough.
4. Luster:
each mineral has different luster some are metallic shine silky etc,
it total depends of color mineral because of the color light is reflected
from minerals external surface that only be the sparkle's
5. Color
wave lengths of reflected according and that's how we find the minerals white green blue.
this are five major property
