Answer

Brief Explanations:

(13) Crystals of minerals have definite geometric shapes for identification. (14) Cleavage describes how a mineral splits. (15) Streak is the color of a mineral's powder, more reliable than its actual color. (16) Density is the weight of a certain volume of a substance. (17) Specific gravity is the comparison of a substance's density to water's density. (18) Specific gravity has no units. (19) Hardness is a mineral's resistance to being scratched. (20) The Mohs scale ranges from 1 (softest) to 10 (hardest). (21) Talc is number 1 on the Mohs scale. (22) Diamond is number 10 on the Mohs scale, the hardest mineral. (23) A mineral's crystal structure is determined by atom - arrangement in its crystal. (24) Carbonate minerals bubble with weak acid. (25) Radioactive minerals are identified with a Geiger counter.
