I think the mineral characteristics that the one gram sample of hematite taking up more space than a one gram sample of malachite is DENSITY.
The density of hematite is 5.26 g/cm³
The density of malachite is 3.6 to 4 g/cm³
Other physical characteristics of minerals are <span><span>Color, </span>Streak, Luster, H<span>ardness, </span>Cleavage, Fracture, Tenacity, and Crystal <span>Habit.</span></span>
Protons are held inside nucleous with neutrons with large amount of force. So mere rubbing doesn't help in breaking the nucleous of an atom. But electrons are far from the nucleous and the force of attraction is smaller. So electrons can jump readily while protons can't
Geology is the study of the Earth, the materials of which it is made, the structure of those materials, and the processes acting upon them.
