As it makes no sense to talk of hardness when a metal is liquid all values are when the metal is solid. Mercury is 2-2.5 when solid.
In making this table I didn't look-up the hardness of absolutely every metal so some rearrangements maybe be necessary here.
# Zinc 2.5
# Aluminum 2 # Antimony 3-3.3 # Bismuth 2.5 # Cadmium 2 # silver 2.5 - 4 # Magnesium 2 # Mercury 2-2.5 # Gold 2.5-3 Moh's scale of hardness

What are the chacteistics of metals?
what are the characteristics of metals? metals? non-metals?
The majority of elements in the periodic table are?
Metals (as opposed to non-metals and semi-metals) or solids (as opposed to liquids and gases). There could possible be more answers as your questions is not very specific.
Where are the metals semi metals and nonmetals located on the periodic table?
Non-metals are located on the right side. Transitional metals in the middle area.
How do scrap yards separate metals from non magnetic metals?
They use electromagnets to separate magnetic metals from non-magnetic metals/materials in scrapyards.
What is the softest solid metal?
The metals that are known to be soft are alkali metals. A couple of these metals include potassium and sodium. They are so soft that they can be easily cut through with a knife.
What is the definition for Moh' s Hardness Scale?
a scale that ranks ten minerals from softest to hardest
What is the thinnest metal?
Well, there really is no thin metal. They can be as thick or thin as you want it to be. But the softest (or one of thE) metals would be gold.
What are the Top ten softest animals?
The softest land animal is Chinchilla. The rodent is named after the Chincha people of Andes mountains in South America.
What are the ten metals?
Ten metals are platinum, GOLD, Silver, Tin, Mercury, Cobalt, Nickel, Copper, Iron and Lead. Though there are many more metals than 10.

What is the softest tree?
Bass trees are the softest
What is the eaths softest layer?
The mantle is the softest layer of the Earth.
What is the name for the softest coal?
Lignite is the softest form of coal.
What is the softest rock to hardest rock?
the softest rock is talc and the hardest is a diamond
What is the softest metal on earth?
The two metals with the lowest Mohs hardness scale values are cesium, with hardness 0.2, and rubidium, with hardness 0.3. Lithium, sodium, and potassium metals have values near 0.5-0.6. - - - - - Cesium and rubidium are liquids at or near room temperature--cesium undergoes phase change at 28C, rubidium undergoes phase change at 39C. I knew they were the softest metals on the Mohs scale, but didn't list them because of this low melt point. So...after the liquid metals (there are five--mercury, francium and gallium plus the two already named), you could pick any of the three low-mass alkali metals as the "softest."
Are the transition metals stronger denser and harder than the non-metals?
Metals are denser than non-metals. They are not necessarily harder though. Hardness has nothing to do with density - it's down to the structure of the bonded molecules. Diamond is one of the hardest know sustances, but it is a non-metal (a form of carbon). Lead and gold are among the softest of metals yet they are also some of the densest.
