Clay is a very fine-grained geologic material that develops plasticity when wet, but becomes hard, brittle and non–plastic upon drying or firing. It is a very common material, and is the oldest known ceramic.Prehistoric humans discovered the useful properties of clay and used it for making pottery. The chemistry of clay, including its capacity to retain nutrient …

Physical properties of minerals are directly related to their atomic structure, bonding forces and chemical composition. Bonding forces as electrical forces exist between the atoms and ions are related to the type of elements, and the distance between them in the crystalline structure. Thus, minerals having same chemical composition may show ...

1.4 Physical and Chemical Properties. The physical properties of minerals include name, crystal system, color as it appears to the naked eye, streak by rubbing on streak plate, luster, hardness on the Mohs scale, and average specific gravity. The chemical properties comprise chemical formula and the proportion of elements in the purest form …

The physical properties of minerals are related to their chemical composition and bonding. Some characteristics, such as a mineral's hardness, are more useful for mineral identification. Color is readily observable and certainly obvious, but it is usually less reliable than other physical properties.

Sep 28, 2018· Clay minerals are a class of phyllosilicates which usually form as a result of chemical weathering of other silicate minerals at the surface of the earth. This mineral mostly contains limestone, silica, mica, and iron oxide and has a yellowish, reddish, or brown colour. ... Soil physical properties include texture, structure, density, porosity ...

All the clay minerals, with the possible exception of halloysite, have been synthesized from mixtures of oxides or hydroxides and water at moderately low temperatures and pressures. Kaolinite tends to form in alumina-silica systems without alkalies or alkaline earths. Illite is formed when potassium is added to such systems. And either smectite or chlorite results …

Describe physical properties of minerals. Explain how minerals form. Explain mineral groups and their classifications. Introduction. A mineral is a naturally occurring, inorganic solid with a characteristic chemical composition, distinctive physical properties, and a definite internal atomic arrangement (crystal structure). A rock is an ...

Structure of clay minerals Clay is structured at an atomic, molecular and macro level, and these structures interact to produce the variations in observed behavior. Physical features. Clay particles are smaller than 2 micron (2 x 10-3 mm), and because this is about twice the way length of light, such particles can only be seen with an electron

Apr 27, 2010· Clay minerals have a sheet-like structure and are composed of mainly tetrahedrally arranged silicate and octahedrally arranged aluminate groups. Kaolinite is the principal mineral in kaolin clays. It is a 1:1 clay mineral – the basic unit is composed of a 2-dimensional (2D) layer of silicate groups tightly bonded to a 2D layer of aluminate ...
