Question 42 of 190 FINAL - Science Question is based on the following passage. The orderly pattern of the atoms in a crystal influences many properties apart from its external appearance. One of these properties is cleavage. Cleavage refers to the ability of a crystal to split in a certain direction along its surface. The direction of the cleavage is always parallel to a possible crystal face. Cleavage planes are dependent on the atomic structure, and they pass between sheets of atoms in well-defined directions. How easily a mineral cleaves and the effect of the cleavage vary from one mineral to another. A crystal whose cleavage results in exceptionally smooth surfaces is said to show eminent cleavage; other types of cleavages are classified as distinct or poor. All crystalline gemstones undergo cleavage before they can be mounted in a setting. This cutting process may also be easy or difficult. A diamond cleaves easily despite its great hardness and may be cut into many different…
