What do we use to determine the hardness of a mineral?
Hello, It depends on what hardness do you want to test? The hardness of gems, one would use a scratch test. The Vickers hardness test was developed in 1921 by Robert L. Smith and George E. Sandland at Vickers Ltd as an alternative to the Brinell method to measure the hardness of materials. The Vickers test is often easier to use than other hardness tests since the required calculations are independent of the size of the indenter, and the indenter can be used for all materials irrespective of hardness. The basic principle, as with all common measures of hardness, is to observe the questioned material's ability to resist plastic deformation from a standard source. The Vickers test can be used for all metals and has one of the widest scales among hardness tests. These are just examples of hardness tests, there are many! You should find out what you want to test for and find the most suitable test. Hope I Helped

Is uranium soft?
Hardness of uranium metal: Mohs hardness: 6 Brinell hardness: 2 400MN/m2 Vickers hardness: 1 960 MN/m2 Uranium is very hard and also very dense (19,05 g/cm3). Depleted uranium is used for artillery shells (also for tanks armour) to give it Armour piercing capability.
What is the least reliable mineral test?
The hardness scale
What is the difference between vickers hardness test and brinell hardness test?
In Vickers hardness test the for used is much lighter than the force used in Rockwell hardness test, The Rockwell hardness test is the considered to be the most routinely used technique to measure the hardness of materials because of its simplicity and because it does not require specific skills in order to perform it.

Is plutonium soft?
The Brinell hardness of plutonium is 242, the Vickers hardness is 255.
How hard is silver on the Mohs scale?
I don't found the Mohs hardness of plutonium but: - the Brinell hardness is 242 at r.m. - the Vickers hardness is 255 at r.m. After a hardness conversion chart an equivalent Mohs hardness may be 3,7.
