Question 1

What is the two different types of minerals

Answer 1

Silicon and oxygen tetrahedron is combine arrangement in different forms of silicon mineral

Question 2

What is a mineral

Answer 2

It is a natural and inorganic set of physical properties

Question 3

What is Moho hardness

Answer 3

It is a scale which the hardness of the mineral is rated

Question 4

What is cleavage

Answer 4

A smooth flat material that splits

Question 5

What is a material and crystal

Answer 5

The atom that forms in a crystal that always combine in a geometric pattern

Question 6

What is luster and streak

Answer 6

Luster reflects light powdered form

Question 7

What is fluorescence and phosphorescence

Answer 7

Ordinary light under a ultrasound turning red and some minerals will glow after the light is turned off

Question 8

What is most common silicate

Answer 8

feldspar

Silicate minerals are the most common of Earth’s minerals and include quartz, feldspar, mica, amphibole, pyroxene, and olivine.
Silica tetrahedra, made up of silicon and oxygen, form chains, sheets, and frameworks, and bond with other cations to form silicate minerals.

Question 9

What is 96 percent of the earth crust made up

Answer 9

Silicate minerals.
Ninety six percent of the earth’s crust is made up.
Silicon-oxygen tetrahedra.

Question 10

What is a mineral that as basic structure that isolates

Answer 10

Isolated tetrahedra are separated by positively charged metal ions all around. This is for example the structure of the mineral olivine.
Tetrahedra form rings that are linked together by positively charged metal ions. This structure is for example found in the mineral tourmaline.
Tetrahedra share two of their oxygens with neighbors to form chains. Between the chains positively charged metal ions are inserted. This is the structural style found in the pyroxene family of minerals.
Two chains may combine to form double chains or ribbons. This structural style is found in the amphibole family of minerals.
When adjacent tetrahedra share the three oxygens in one tetrahedral plane, we produce sheets of silica tetrahedrons. These sheets can then be linked together by positively charged ions. This is the basic structure of micas (biotite, muscovite), and also of clay minerals.
Finally, when all four oxygens are linked to other tetrahedra, either by oxygen sharing or via an inserted metal ion, we get three-dimensional framework structures. This is the structural style of the mineral quartz, and of the feldspar family of minerals.
