Copper can be cleaved to form clean surfaces by mechanical cleaving or by using strong acids or bases to etch the material. Cleaving is often done to prepare samples for microscopy or other types of analysis that require a clean surface. After cleavage, the freshly exposed surface may oxidize quickly in air.
No, not all minerals have cleavage. Cleavage is a property in which a mineral breaks along planes of weakness to form smooth surfaces. Some minerals exhibit cleavage, while others may fracture irregularly or have no cleavage at all.
Zinc exhibits a metallic cleavage, which means that it does not have a distinct cleavage plane like minerals. Instead, when subjected to stress, zinc will bend rather than break along a cleavage plane.
The mineral sample displayed a distinct cleavage, breaking along smooth, flat planes.
No, lodestone does not have cleavage because it is a naturally occurring magnetite mineral with a metallic luster and is typically massive, lacking any distinct cleavage planes.
No. Cleavage is absent in copper and its fracture is jagged.
No, copper sulphate crystals do not have cleavage planes because they are not considered minerals with cleavage. Cleavage is the tendency of a mineral to break along specific planes due to its crystal structure, which copper sulphate does not exhibit. Instead, copper sulphate crystals tend to break irregularly along their structure.

Sulfur's cleavage is imperfect.

What cleavage does pyrite have
it has no cleavage
it has no cleavage
No it has cleavage and it's cleavage is "absent".
the cleavage of the diamond is nothing
