Hard substances are those which are difficult to scratch. For instance candle wax is not hard, you can scratch it with your finger nail. This means your nail is harder than wax. However, an iron nail could scratch your finger nail, but not the other way round, so an iron nail is quite hard. Diamond is the hardest natural substance.
