Yes. The diamond is a macro molecule made up of carbon and it is the hardest of all other minerals.
Diamonds are proven to scratch all minerals including itself.
Diamonds are the hardest mineral and the agate is the secod hardest mineral.
Diamond is the hardest naturally occurring mineral and can scratch all other minerals. Talc is the softest of minerals and cannot scratch any other mineral.
Diamond is the hardest natural substance which is at all common, and was given the highest number on the Mohs scale, 10. Some synthetic nanomaterials and a couple of very rare minerals are harder.
A diamond is the hardest mineral. A diamond can scratch all other minerals or rocks and cannot be scratched by another mineral or rock except another diamond.
Diamond is the hardest mineral on the Mohs scale, scoring a perfect 10.
Hardest Mineral=Diamond Second would be corundum.etc. etc....but these are minerals. Rocks are a combination of at least 2 minerals. A hard "rock" would be nearly any mafic, igneous rock.
Mineral X could be anything. Diamond is the hardest mineral (10 on Mohs' scale) and can scratch all other minerals including another diamond.
Yes, then can. Diamond is ranked 10 on the Mohs Scale of hardness, the hardest natural mineral on earth.
Yes, diamonds are the hardest naturally occurring substance on Earth. They score a 10 on the Mohs Scale of Hardness, which measures a mineral's resistance to scratching. This hardness is due to the strong covalent bonds between the carbon atoms in a diamond's crystal structure.
Three minerals that can scratch quartz are topaz, corundum, and diamond. Topaz has a hardness of 8 on the Mohs scale, while corundum, which includes sapphires and rubies, has a hardness of 9. Diamond, the hardest natural material, ranks 10 on the scale, making it capable of scratching all other minerals, including quartz, which has a hardness of 7.
Talc is the mineral that cannot scratch any mineral by itself. It has a Mohs hardness of 1, making it the softest mineral on the Mohs scale, which means it can be easily scratched by all other minerals.
