- Question 42 of 190 FINAL - Science Question is based on the following passage. The orderly pattern of the atoms in a crystal influences many properties apart from its external appearance. One of these properties is cleavage. Cleavage refers to the ability of a crystal to split in a certain direction along its surface. The direction of the cleavage is always parallel to a possible crystal face. Cleavage planes are dependent on the atomic structure, and they pass between sheets of atoms in well-defined directions. How easily a mineral cleaves and the effect of the cleavage vary from one mineral to another. A crystal whose cleavage results in exceptionally smooth surfaces is said to show eminent cleavage; other types of cleavages are classified as distinct or poor. All crystalline gemstones undergo cleavage before they can be mounted in a setting. This cutting process may also be easy or difficult. A diamond cleaves easily despite its great hardness and may be cut into many different…arrow_forwardwhich of the following when in its solid form is an example of a molecular solid? iron aluminum oxide carbon dioxide or silicon dioxidearrow_forwardExplain why water boils at higher temperature under higher pressure (pure substance saturation temperature depends on pressure).

Molecules along the surface of a liquid behave differently than those in the bulk liquid. Water forming a droplet as it falls from a faucet is a primary example of surface tension. Mercury has a lower surface tension than water. Surface tension increases as the temperature of the liquid rises. Cohesive forces attract the molecules of the liquid to one another.arrow_forwardA metallic element, Q, has a body-centered cubic lattice structure as a solid. If Q has an atomic radius of 186 pm and an atomic weight of 88.8, what is the theoretical density of Q in grams per cubic centimeters (g/cm3)?If the final answer is an inexact number, round off to two decimal places.arrow_forwardCohesion happens between all molecules in a liquid, but because the molecules in the middle of the droplet pull each equally in all directions they generally cancel each out. This strong inward force causing molecules on the surface to contract and resist being pulled apart. This is known as surface tension. Based on this information.
