Mineral Mineral Polymorphism: Polymorphism is the ability of a specific chemical composition to crystallize in more than one form This generally occurs as a response to changes in temperature or pressure or both The different structures of such a chemical substance are called polymorphic forms, or polymorphs For example, the element carbon (C) occurs in nature in two different ORDERDISORDER POLYMORPRHISM Such type of polymorphism commonly found in the metalic alloyes also in minerals in a state of perfect order the atoms in a structure are arranged in a specific crystallographic sites of location In a totally disorder state, that is at very high temperature below their melting point there will be random (PPT) POLYMORPHISM Amrit Anurag Jena The Arg16Gly polymorphism is associated with a decreased response to exogenous agonist Martinez et al (1997) For a summary of the pharmacology and physiology of human beta2 adrenoceptor polymorphisms, please see Small et al (2003), Leineweber and Brodde (2004)Polymorphism an overview ScienceDirect Topics

Lesson Summary Let's review Polymorphism is very common in nature and occurs when several different physical forms or types of individuals exist among minerals • Define and explain the usage of the terms: isostructuralism, isotypism, polymorphism, polytypism and pseudomorphism as used in minerals • Define the phase rule and use it to illustrate the stability fields of various mineral phases under specified conditions of temperature, pressure and chemical compositionPRINCIPLES OF MINERALOGY SGL 429 Minerals are usually formed by inorganic processes Synthetic equivalents of various minerals, such as emeralds and diamonds, are manufactured for commercial purposes Although most minerals are chemical compounds, a small number (eg, sulfur, copper, gold) are elements Minerals combine with each other to form rocksFormation of minerals Britannica
