When a diamond and silver are rubbed together the diamond makes a scratch in the silver What does this tell you about the two substances?
This indicates that diamond is harder than silver. Hardness is a measure of a material's resistance to scratching or abrasion, with diamond being one of the hardest natural substances. Silver, on the other hand, is a relatively soft metal, which makes it susceptible to scratching when in contact with harder materials like diamond.

What minerals cut diamonds?

Why is diamond harder than gold?
Diamond is harder than gold because of its crystal structure. Diamond consists of carbon atoms arranged in a rigid, three-dimensional lattice structure which makes it extremely resistant to scratching or deformation. Gold, on the other hand, has a more loosely packed atomic structure which is why it is much softer and more malleable compared to diamond.
How can identified diamond without instrument?
Diamonds are valuable. Refusing to use an instrument to test one is an interesting position. If, however, you must: you can use the diamond to mar a piece of glass.
