monoclinic's Usage Examples:

05° for one atmosphere; the density of the rhombic form is greater than that of the monoclinic.

Three other monoclinic forms have been described.

Crystals of azurite belong to the monoclinic system; they have a vitreous lustre and are translucent.

Calcium metasilicate, CaSiO 3, occurs in nature as monoclinic crystals known as tabular spar or wollastonite; it may be prepared artificially from solutions of calcium chloride and sodium silicate.

This is illustrated by the hexagonal pyrargyrite 3Ag 2 S Sb 2 S 3, and proustite, 3Ag 2 S As2S3, and the monoclinic pyrostilpnite, isomeric with pyrargyrite, and xanthoconite, isomeric with proustite.

It crystallizes in monoclinic tables which melt at 148-149° C.

The line BC, representing the equilibrium between monoclinic and liquid sulphur, is thermodynamically calculable; the point B is found to correspond to 131° and 400 atmospheres.

O COC 6 H 5, prepared from phenol and benzoyl chloride, crystallizes in monoclinic prisms, which melt at 68-69° C.

They all crystallize in the monoclinic system, often, however, in forms closely resembling those of the rhombohedral or orthorhombic systems.

The bicarbonate forms large monoclinic prisms, permanent in the air.

It forms monoclinic crystals which are very soluble in water.

The common monoclinic variety is obtained by allowing a crust to form over molten sulphur by partially cooling it, and then breaking the crust and pouring off the still liquid portion, whereupon the interior of the vessel will be found coated with long needles of this variety.

When slowly crystallized it forms large monoclinic prisms which are readily soluble in water but difficultly soluble in alcohol.
