<span>The mineral crystals in obsidian are too small to see without a microscope. This is because the rock cools so rapidly from magma that crystals barely have time to form. Obsidian is a normally happening volcanic glass framed as an extrusive molten shake. It is delivered when felsic magma expelled from a well of lava cools quickly with negligible precious stone development.</span>
A :-) Isotopes are forms of the same element with equal numbers of protons but different numbers of neutrons. For example, both carbon-12 and carbon-14 have 6 protons. But carbon-12 has 6 neutrons while carbon-14 has 8 neutrons. By definition, carbon-12, carbon-13 and carbon-14 are all isotopes of the carbon.
Minerals may be defined as the combination of two or more elements of a substance.
<u>Five criteria that exhibits a particle to be minerals; </u>
- They are natural and not man-made.
- Inorganic i.e. not made by any organism.
- Minerals are solids, not liquid or gas.
- They have a definite chemical structure.
- The atoms in minerals are arranged systematically and are arranged in a repeated pattern.
Minerals are natural and we use it in our day to day life. Products like salt and even a pencil have minerals. Also, these minerals help the parts in the human body to grow faster and function properly.
They cannot hibernate in winter
