A diamond is the hardest mineral on earth and your finger nail would break in half before you got enough pressure on a diamond to put a crack in it. Much less break it.
Diamond is harder than iron. Diamond is the hardest known natural mineral and can scratch iron.
Diamond is much harder than copper. On the Mohs hardness scale (higher numbers are harder), diamond is a 10 and copper is somewhere between 3 and 4.
Boron nitride is a synthetic material that is harder than diamond. It exhibits similar properties to diamond but has a higher hardness level.
Iron Ranks about a 4-5 on the Moh's hardness scale. A diamond is a perfect 10 diamond. A diamond much harder then iron.
Yes, diamond is harder than any metal. Diamond is the hardest natural material known, ranking 10 on the Mohs scale of mineral hardness, while metals generally rank much lower on the scale.
Graphite can be scratched by materials that are harder than it, such as diamond and tungsten.
Your nail is 2.5 so the rocks you can scratch are, Gypsum and Talc.
Diamond is harder than onyx.
Diamond is harder than plastic.
Yes. It is much harder than your fingernail.
Diamond is harder than any metal.
No. Diamond is harder than emerald.
Diamond is harder than steel: you can scratch steel with a diamond, but steel will not scratch a diamond.
A fingernail has a hardness level of about 2.5 to 3 on the Mohs scale of mineral hardness. This scale measures the scratch resistance of various minerals, with 1 being talc and 10 being diamond. The relatively low hardness of fingernails makes them susceptible to scratches and damage from harder materials.
