What is the ability of one material to dissolve in another?
The ability of one substance to dissolve in another substance is called SOLUBILITY.
What is a mineral's ability to scratch another mineral?
A mineral's resistance to being scratched (or when a force is applied) is called its hardness.There are different measurements of hardness: scratch hardness, indentation hardness, and rebound hardness. A material's hardness depends on ductility, elastic stiffness, plasticity, strain, strength, toughness, viscoelasticity, and viscosity.
What is the ability to attract electrons from another atom called?
electronegativity
What is the ability to transmit electrical currents called?
The ability of a material to transfer heat or electric current is called conductivity.
