What is The resistance to being scratched is a minerals what?
This describes a mineral's Mohs hardness.
Which mineral property describes minerals resistance to being scratched?
That would be its Mohs hardness.
What scientist use to determine a minerals resistance to being scratched?
Moh's hardness scale was used to determine a mineral's resistance to being scratched. The tendency of a mineral to break along smooth flat surfaces is cleavage.
Cleavage?
The resistance of a mineral to being scratched
Which property is a measure of a minerals resistance to being scratched?
A rock's hardness is its resistance to scratching or abrasion. This is commonly measured using the MOH's scale of hardness.
Scientists use this to determine a minerals resistance to being scratched?
A mineral's resistance to being scratched is known as it's hardness. You can determine hardness by scratching it with another material whose hardness is already known. If it can be scratched, then the hardness is lower. If the unknown leaves a scratch on the known material, then its hardness is higher.
What property describe a minerals ability to resist being scratched?
The hardness
What is the resistance to being scratched known as?
The resistance to being scratched is known as hardness. Hardness is a measure of how well a material can resist scratching or abrasion. It is commonly measured using the Mohs scale of mineral hardness.
Which of the following minerals is most resistant to being scratched?
Diamond is the most resistant to being scratched as it is the hardest mineral on the Mohs scale with a rating of 10.
What is the resistance of a mineral has to being scratched called?
The resistance of a mineral to being scratched is known as its 'hardness'. This is a relative measurement determined by whether it scratches, or is scratched by, other materials of determined hardness. Hardness is measured on the Mohs scale. To give to some idea, diamond (the hardest known mineral) is a 10, while talc (the softest) is 1. A copper coin is around 3, a fingernail is around 2, an iron nail is around 5. Quartz, for example, is a 7.
What does the property of hardness measure?
Hardness measures a mineral's resistance to being scratched.
Scientist use this to determine a mineral's resistance to being scratched?
