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.

Which of these best describes heat transfer through conduction?
kozerog [31]

I'd go for D here. It also fits in with the idea of thermal expansion - as something is heated up, molecules vibrate and maybe collide. they vibrate with bigger amplitudes, so taking up more space, so expanding. maybe

Which statement describes the water gas particles in the air above the cup compared with the water liquid
Law Incorporation [45]

Answer:

The particles move faster and are far apart

Explanation:

A substance may exist in three states of matter; solid, liquid and gas.

In the solid state, there is very strong intermolecular forces between the particles of the substance. They can only vibrate or rotate about their mean positions but can not translate.

In the liquid state, the particles of the substance have a greater degree of freedom than in the solid. The magnitude of intermolecular forces is lower than in solids, the molecules can move at low speeds.

In a gas, the molecules are separated from each other with negligible intermolecular interaction hence they move at very high speed.

Therefore, for the water gas particles in the air above the cup; the particles move faster and are far apart.
