9.7 10) Flame Test: K produces violet flame, Ca produces orange-red flame 11) Acid Test: HCl drops will fizz if mineral contains carbonate, sulfide, or sulfite 12) Magnetism: can be magnetic, nonmagnetic, antimagnetic
9B: Identifying Minerals 13) Radioactivity: Contain (U), will produce rays that can be detected by special instruments. 14) Luminescence: ability to glow Fluorescent: emits light while absorbing radiation; glows under UV light Phosphorescent: continue to give off light after light source is removed. 15) Refraction: transparent minerals that bend light U =uranium
