Between 2 and 3 because its hard enough gypsum but it can not scratch calcite because calcite is harder
Quartz, with a hardness of 7, will scratch calcite, with a hardness of 3.
Yes.Apatite - Ca5(PO4)3OH - has a Mohs hardness of 5.Calcite - CaCO3 - has a Mohs hardness of 5.
Quartz is hard enough to scratch calcite, as it has a higher hardness rating on the Mohs scale. However, quartz is not hard enough to scratch amphibole minerals, which are generally harder than calcite.

No, a paperclip is not hard enough to scratch calcite. Calcite is a mineral with a hardness of 3 on the Mohs scale, while a paperclip is softer and would not be able to scratch calcite.

apatite will not scratch quartz topaz calcite or corundum
no
calcite is a 3 on the Mohs scale of Hardness and can scratch anything that's under it. just that simple

True
No.because calcite is softer then feldspar
