Metalloids
This category is shiny and are great conductors
What are Metals?
How a mineral reflects light
What is luster
The unit that mass is measured in
what is grams
Mass = 20 g
Volume = 5 mL
4g/mL
A student is shining a light on a mineral. What property is the student testing on the mineral?
Luster
This group is mostly gasses but can be brittle solids. They are also dull!
What are nonmetals
Ability to be rolled or hammered into thin sheets
The unit that volume is measured in. Two possible answers
mL or cm3
Mass = 110 g
Volume = 10 cm3
11g/cm3
A student is scratching on a mineral with different objects. What property is the student testing on the mineral?
hardness
These two groups can be shiny
What are metals and metalloids
Ability to be pulled into a thin wire
What is ductility
A cube that is 4cm on each side has a volume of?
64
Mass = 550g
Volume = 50cm3
11 g/cm3
A student is rubbing the mineral on a white plate to observe it powder color. What property is the student testing on the mineral?
Streak
These two groups have brittle solids.
What are nonmetals and metalloids
The ability for heat and electricity to pass through an object
What is conductivity
A student used a graduated cylinder to get a volume. She added 30mL of water and dropped her item in. The water rose to 42 mL. What is the volume?
12mL
What unit is density measured in? two answers possible?
g/cm3
or
g/mL
These two categories do not require you to touch the mineral to observe.
Luster and Color
These two groups have the ability to conduct electricity
What are metals and metalloids
easy to break or shatter when hammered
What is Brittle
What is the formula for volume?
Length x Width x Height
Mass is 160 g
The cube has a length width and height of 2cm
20g/cm3
