The branch of science which deals with all the aspects of crystals, including their
formation from the melts, their internal structure, and their external shape or
morphology Saavedra, Angela

1
The angle at which any two adjacent faces are placed on the crystal with respect to
each other.
Saavedra, Angela

2
Symmetry is a property of fundamental importance for a crystal. It can be studied
with reference to three different characters, commonly called elements of
symmetry. Which among the choices is NOT an element of symmetry? Saavedra, Angela

3
Imaginary lines that are arbitrarily selected in such a way that all of them pass
through the center of an ideal crystal.
Saavedra, Angela

4
The relative intercepts made by a crystal face on the three or four crystallographic
axes are known as ________________.
Saavedra, Angela

5
It is the simplest and most representative of the indices for a set of familiar faces
that constitute a crystallographic form.
Saavedra, Angela

6
A simple instrument used for the measurement of interfacial angles.

Saavedra, Angela

7
The Law of _____________ states that: “The angles between the corresponding
faces of a crystal of a given substance measured at the same temperature, have a
constant value, irrespective of size, shape, and number of faces.” Saavedra, Angela

8
A solid polyhedral form of a substance bounded by geometrical surfaces called
faces. It can also be natural or synthetic.
Saavedra, Angela

9
Any imaginary plane passing through the center of a crystal in such a way that it
divides the crystal in two exactly similar halves.
Saavedra, Angela

10
This system includes all those crystals which can be referred to three
crystallographic axes
(i) Essentially unequal in length Managuit, Ma Lyn
(ii) Essentially at right angles to each other
11
Axis that is always longer of the two horizontal axes and is also designated as macro
axis. (i) Essentially unequal in length
(ii) Essentially at right angles to each other Managuit, Ma Lyn

12
Axis that is designated as brachy axis.
 (i) Essentially unequal in length
(ii) Essentially at right angles to each other Managuit, Ma Lyn

13
Open form of two faces in which each face meets any one of the three axes and is
parallel to the other two axes.
Managuit, Ma Lyn

14
A form which is essentially parallel to the vertical axis.

Managuit, Ma Lyn

15
Defined as a form whose faces essentially meet the vertical axis and are parallel to
one of the two horizontal axes.
Managuit, Ma Lyn

16
In these forms of four faces, each face essentially meets the vertical axis.

Managuit, Ma Lyn

17
There are only two symmetry classes falling in the Triclinic System.
named axinite type after the mineral.
(i) Axes of Symmetry-none. Managuit, Ma Lyn
(ii) Planes of Symmetry-none.
18
Also called macropinacoid

Managuit, Ma Lyn

19
Also called brachypinacoid has two faces each meeting the b-axis at unit length.

Managuit, Ma Lyn

20
These are open forms that each of the two faces, meeting only on one axis and being
parallel to the other two
Magno, Patricia Mae

21
A group of two crystals mutually united and intimately related are called TWINS and the
phenomenon of their formation is called ________
Magno, Patricia Mae

22
It is in a twin crystal, which is common to both the halves of the crystal and across which
one half may appear to be the reflection of the other.
Magno, Patricia Mae

23
It is a crystallographic direction along which a rotation of some degrees (usually 180°)
seems to have produced the resultant twins
Magno, Patricia Mae

24
A hydrated silicate of aluminum with iron, crystallizes in orthorhombic system, commonly
in prismatic form
Magno, Patricia Mae
25
It is the plane along which the two halves of a twin crystal are joined together

Magno, Patricia Mae

26
This system includes the largest number of minerals and also shows a great variety of laws
on which twinning occurs in minerals
Magno, Patricia Mae

27
In this law, c-axis is the twinning axis. Twins are generally intergrown

Magno, Patricia Mae

28
It is called a ________ when a twin crystal very well defined two-halves held together
according to easily understandable relationships
Magno, Patricia Mae

29
In this law, the twinning axis is easily defined as the one parallel to b-axis. The twins may
be repeated polysynthetic lamellar type
Magno, Patricia Mae

30
Any group of similar faces showing identical
mathematical relations with crystallographic axes
makes a ___ Belen, Zhyra Angela

31
It designates that type of any given form in which the parameters essentially
correspond to the (assumed) unit lengths of the crystallographic axes. It is also
called a unit form. Belen, Zhyra Angela

32
An open form with two similar faces. Each face is parallel to the two horizontal
crystallographic axes and meets the third, vertical axis at unit length
Belen, Zhyra Angela

33
All those crystals that can be referred to three crystallographic axes, which are
essentially equal in length, at right angles to each other, and mutually
interchangeable Belen, Zhyra Angela

34
All the crystals (and hence crystal classes) when referred to the crystallographic
axes, can be conveniently grouped into six major ___
Belen, Zhyra Angela

35
These are forms of four or eight faces in which each face is essentially parallel to
the vertical crystallographic axes
Belen, Zhyra Angela

36
These are closed forms of eight or sixteen faces in which each face essentially
meets the vertical crystallographic axis
Belen, Zhyra Angela

37
It is a form with twelve similar faces each of which is parallel to one of the three
 crystallographic axes and meets the other equal distances
Belen, Zhyra Angela
