What are the 9 properties of minerals and explain each property?

hardness-Hardness is the ability of a material to resist deformation

luster-the way light interacts with the surface of a crystal

color-the quality of an object or substance with respect to light reflected by the object

streak- the color of the powder produced when it is dragged across an un-weathered surface.

specif gravity-the density of that object divided by the density of water cleavage -the tendency of a mineral to break along smooth planes

fracture-any separation in a geologic formation

tenacity-refers to a mineral's toughness or resistance to breaking or being deformed.

lol sorry that took awhile

answer: enthalpy

explanation:

for a exothermic reaction, the energy is released i.e. the energy of the products is lower than the energy of the reactants.

= enthaply

= energy of products

= energy of reactants

as , thus comes out to be negative. negative value of enthalpy shows that the reaction is exothermic.
