yes it can

Diamond will scratch all rocks and other minerals, including itself.
Yes magnatite does and it can be scratched by a nail Jk!
Yes, quartz is considered a hard mineral ranking 7 on the Mohs scale of hardness, making it able to scratch most other minerals. However, there are harder minerals such as diamond and corundum that can scratch quartz.
I would say not likely. Most metals are rather soft in their pure form. One of the most distinguishing characteristics about metals is that they are sectile, or easily cut with a knife. Silver has a hardness (on the Mohs scale) of 3. That is probably not going to scratch many other minerals.
Yes, barite is a relatively soft mineral with a Mohs hardness of 3-3.5, so it can be easily scratched by harder minerals. It is unlikely to scratch most common minerals or rocks, but can be scratched by harder minerals such as quartz or topaz.
Yes magnatite does and it can be scratched by a nail Jk!
Diamonds can only be scratched by other diamonds. Diamond is the hardest natural mineral.
The scratch table is called the Mohs Scale of Mineral Hardness and measures the hardness of minerals in relation to the known hardest (diamond) and softest (talc) minerals.
Diamonds can scratch all types of rocks, as they are the hardest natural substance on Earth. This means that diamonds can scratch minerals like quartz, calcite, and feldspar, as well as softer rocks like limestone and shale.
If two rocks cannot scratch each other, then they would have to be of equal hardness. A harder rock can always scratch a softer rock.
Rocks and minerals are only related of that multiple minerals form rocks. Other than that, they aren't related at all.rocks are made of mineralsAll rocks are made of minerals!!!!!Rocks are composed of one or more minerals.
