Minerals are identified according to their properties. One of these properties is their breaking tendency: <em>cleavage</em><em> or </em><em>fracture</em>.<em> Cleavage: Calcite, mica, muscovita, pyroxene. Fracture: Quartz, Asbestos, Limestone.</em>

<u><em>Note</em></u><em>: Since I do not know which your 10 minerals are, I will provide examples of each type according to the breaking tendency.</em>

Many properties of minerals are used to identify them, such as <em>color, density, hardness,</em> among others. In this case, we are talking about their <u>breaking tendency.</u>

<h3 /><h3>How do minerals break?</h3><h3 />
  • Minerals can cleave or fracture.

  • A type of mineral breaks always in the same, and this is why the breaking tendency is useful to identify them.  
<h3 />

<u>- Cleavage</u>

  • The mineral breaks in flat smooth planes.

  • Cleavage direction and smoothness of surfaces are significant when identifying.

<u>- Fracture</u>

  • The mineral break in irregular planes.

  • In these minerals, there is no particular breaking direction.

<h2 /><h3>Examples</h3>

<u>- Cleavage</u>

  • Calcite
  • Mica
  • Muscovite
  • Pyroxene
  • Halite
  • Feldspar
  • Gypsum

<u>- Fracture</u>

  • Quartz
  • Asbestos
  • Limestone
  • Beryl
  • Chromite
  • Agate
  • Copper

Sergio [31]
This kind of modeling is known as (D) simulation. A computer program is used to simulate an environment, in this case, the zoo. Instead of having to do an actual experiment which harms real animals, a simulation is done to cut costs and avoid using live samples.

What are Metals, Nonmetals and Metalloids? 32 POINTS! i need to know this.
mestny [16]
Answer:
Search the the periodic table for more info

Explanation:
Metals are, well, metals. Examples are Iron, Copper, and Aluminum.

Non Metals are simple; they are not metals

Metalloids are complex to define, so I will let the Oxford Dictionary explain for me;
an element whose properties are intermediate between those of metals and solid nonmetals or semiconductors.
