This is not true. The only metallic minerals that are at all common are native gold, silver, copper, and platinum. Gold and silver have Mohs hardness of 2.5, copper 3.0, and platinum 4 to 4.5. That's rather soft. By contrast, non-metallic minerals include quartz, topaz, corundum, and diamond, with Mohs hardness 7, 8, 9, and 10 respectively.

What is the significance of hardness in minerals and how does it impact their identification and classification?
Hardness is a key property of minerals that helps in their identification and classification. It measures a mineral's resistance to scratching, with harder minerals being able to scratch softer ones. This property is important because it can help distinguish between different minerals and aid in their classification based on their relative hardness levels.

Which mineral is the softest albite biotite orthoclase quartz or granite?
Among the minerals listed, talc is the softest, but if we consider only the ones mentioned—albite, biotite, orthoclase, quartz, and granite—biotite is typically the softest. On the Mohs scale, biotite has a hardness of about 2.5 to 3, while albite and orthoclase are harder at 6 and 6-6.5, respectively, and quartz is even harder at 7. Granite, being an igneous rock composed mostly of quartz and feldspar, is much harder than any of the individual minerals listed.
