The density of thorium is 11,724 g/cm3.
The Mohs hardness of thorium is 3.
Density is the ratio between mass and volume.
Hardness is a measure of resistance of a material under a compressive force.
The unit of Brinell Hardness Number is same as that for stress.
I'll tell you why, lets say there's a red topaz and a yellow topaz. They have diffrent elements and simaliar elements. How are they both classifed well that is because they have the same luster, streak, hardness and density. It may not have the same color but you get right?
The hardness.
Examples of mineral characteristics: - density - hardness - refractive index - chemical composition - magnetic properties - cleavage - crystal system - radioactivity
No, the density is different.
colour, density and hardness.
You are confusing density with weight. Two pieces of wood of the same density but different sizes have different weights. Density, you could say, is like hardness. If you take a 6 foot piece of wood, and cut 2 feet from it, the two pieces of wood are definitely different weights but the same hardness. Since they came from the same original piece of wood, they almost have to be the same density. There are some types of wood that have such high density that they will not float on water.
Because the density of an object does not depend on the amount in an object but the hardness or softness of that object
No
Hazards and Health Considerations: Thorium presents both a toxic and radiological hazard. Toxicologically, it causes heavy metal poisoning similar to lead or the uranium isotopes. Biologically, thorium accumulates in the skeletal system where it has a biological half-life of 200 years, the same as plutonium. An M 17 protective mask and standard anti-contamination clothing will adequately protect against thorium.
You start by scratching it and seek it's hardness. When you find its hardness, compare it to another mineral with the same hardness. If they look exactly the same, and have the same arrangements of minerals, then they are the exact same mineral.

No they do not.
