A diamond is the hardest known substance, as stated on the Mohs scale. Yes, a diamond can scratch another diamond. Diamond-tipped tools are what workers use to cut and facet diamond stones.
A diamond can only be scratched by another diamond due to its hardness. No other material is hard enough to scratch a diamond.
Yes, diamonds can scratch other diamonds. Diamonds are the hardest known natural substance, scoring a 10 on the Mohs scale of mineral hardness. Therefore, a diamond can easily scratch another diamond if sufficient force is applied.
Diamond is the hardest natural material, ranking 10 on the Mohs scale of mineral hardness. However, there are other materials such as cubic boron nitride and lonsdaleite that are also very hard and can scratch diamond. So, while diamond is very resistant to scratching, it is not the only mineral that will not scratch.
Diamonds are able to scratch other diamonds because they are one of the hardest materials known, ranking 10 on the Mohs scale of mineral hardness. This means that diamond has a high resistance to scratching, but it can still be scratched by another diamond due to the atomic structure and orientation of the crystals.
Diamond is harder than iron. Diamond is the hardest known natural mineral and can scratch iron.
No. Only a diamond can scratch another diamond.
Yes, in fact, it is the only way to scratch a diamond.
A diamond can only be scratched by another diamond due to its hardness. No other material is hard enough to scratch a diamond.
A diamond will scratch anything and everything, including another diamond.
No. Only another diamond can scratch a diamond.
A diamond can scratch a diamond, but one diamond cannot scratch itself.
diamond's hardness is a factor of 10. So this is the highest hardness, no mineral has this hardness! You can't scratch a diamond.
Yes, diamonds can scratch other diamonds. Diamonds are the hardest known natural substance, scoring a 10 on the Mohs scale of mineral hardness. Therefore, a diamond can easily scratch another diamond if sufficient force is applied.
Diamonds can only be scratched by other diamonds. Diamond is the hardest natural mineral.
nothing can scratch a diamond other than another diamond with more pure properties such as being more clear, more dense, larger,
You can tell what Topaz can scratch by looking at the Moh's Scale of Hardness. It looks at ten well known, easily available minerals, and arranged them in order of their "scratch hardness". If a specimen to be tested can be scratched by a known mineral from the list, it is softer than that mineral. If it in turn will scratch another known mineral, it is harder than that mineral. Topaz is ranked an 8 and therefore can scratch everything lower than an 8. This includes quartz, feldspar, apatite, calcite, gypsum and talc.
Nope! A diamond is the hardest substance on earth so only a diamond can scratch a diamond!
