How does the structure of a mineral affect its properties?

Chemistry

Softa [21]3 years ago
4 0
Purely for crystalline structure, "twinning" or repetition of crystal forms can bring about a striated texture on the mineral. Crystal defects and chemical impurities can alter the physical and electrical properties of a mineral. Some minerals can exist in different crystal forms and exhibit "polymorphism." The range in crystal structure can change the mineral's hardness, strength, solubility, electrical properties, melting points, etc.

What does continental drift and sea floor spreading have in common
Llana [10]

In the early 1900s, a scientist named Alfred Wegener noticed how the continents seem to fit together and developed the Theory of Continental Drift. Continental drift is the theory that continents can drift apart from one other and have done so in the past. Wegner's theory also explained why fossils of the same plant and animal species are found on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean. In addition similar types of rock and evidence of the same ancient climatic conditions are found on several continents.

Wegner hypothesized that all the separate continents of today were once joined in a single landmass that he called Pangaea.

Why helium is duplet ??​
Llana [10]

Answer:

The outermost shell of helium for example is filled with only two electrons. Hydrogen and lithium become stable by acquiring the electronic configuration of the nearest inert gas, which is helium. This is the duplet (or duet) rule.
