The density of thorium is 11,724 g/cm3.

The Mohs hardness of thorium is 3.

Density is the ratio between mass and volume.

Hardness is a measure of resistance of a material under a compressive force.

How could two pieces of wood of different sizes have the same density?

You are confusing density with weight. Two pieces of wood of the same density but different sizes have different weights. Density, you could say, is like hardness. If you take a 6 foot piece of wood, and cut 2 feet from it, the two pieces of wood are definitely different weights but the same hardness. Since they came from the same original piece of wood, they almost have to be the same density. There are some types of wood that have such high density that they will not float on water.


Does congruence mean same density?

No


Small amounts of different elements in the same mineral can change the what of the mineral?

The small amounts of different elements in a mineral can change its color, hardness, and other physical properties.


Common commpouds of thorium?

Hazards and Health Considerations: Thorium presents both a toxic and radiological hazard. Toxicologically, it causes heavy metal poisoning similar to lead or the uranium isotopes. Biologically, thorium accumulates in the skeletal system where it has a biological half-life of 200 years, the same as plutonium. An M 17 protective mask and standard anti-contamination clothing will adequately protect against thorium.


How would a collector of minerals determine the hardness of an unknown mineral specimen.?

You start by scratching it and seek it's hardness. When you find its hardness, compare it to another mineral with the same hardness. If they look exactly the same, and have the same arrangements of minerals, then they are the exact same mineral.

Which mineral has the same hardness as a fingernail?

Gypsum has a hardness of 2 on the Mohs scale, which is similar to the hardness of a fingernail.


Do diamond and graphite have the same hardness?

No they do not.


Why does the density of an object stay the same for different amounts of the object?

Density is an intrinsic property of a material that remains constant regardless of the sample size. This is because density is defined as the mass of a substance per unit volume, so as long as the composition of the material and its volume remain constant, the density will not change.


Suppose you have two mineral samples with the same hardness What other mineral properties could you use to decide whether the two samples are the same mineral?

You could use properties such as cleavage, streak color, color, density, luster, and crystal habit to differentiate between the two samples. These properties can help determine if the samples are the same mineral or different minerals, even if they have the same hardness.


Which mineral has the same hardness as corundum?

Diamond is the only mineral that has the same hardness as corundum, which is the second hardest natural mineral on the Mohs scale after diamond. Both corundum and diamond have a hardness of 9 on the Mohs scale.
