Yes magnatite does and it can be scratched by a nail Jk!
Many rocks have magnetic properties (are capable of being magnetized, are magnetic or are attracted by a magnet) derived from magnetic minerals in their composition like magnetite, hematite, and ilmenite. The most well known magnetic rock is the lodestone, which is comprised mainly of magnetite.
Yes, quartz is considered a hard mineral ranking 7 on the Mohs scale of hardness, making it able to scratch most other minerals. However, there are harder minerals such as diamond and corundum that can scratch quartz.
I would say not likely. Most metals are rather soft in their pure form. One of the most distinguishing characteristics about metals is that they are sectile, or easily cut with a knife. Silver has a hardness (on the Mohs scale) of 3. That is probably not going to scratch many other minerals.
Yes, barite is a relatively soft mineral with a Mohs hardness of 3-3.5, so it can be easily scratched by harder minerals. It is unlikely to scratch most common minerals or rocks, but can be scratched by harder minerals such as quartz or topaz.
Diamonds can only be scratched by other diamonds. Diamond is the hardest natural mineral.

Pyrite and magnetite are both metallic minerals that are heavy and have a metallic luster. They are often found in association with each other in certain types of rocks, such as igneous rocks and metamorphic rocks. Both minerals are known for their magnetic properties, with magnetite being strongly magnetic and pyrite being weakly magnetic.
Diamond will scratch all rocks and other minerals, including itself.

No, not all rocks are magnetic. Only certain types of rocks containing iron minerals, such as magnetite, are magnetic. These rocks can be attracted to a magnet, while other types of rocks are not magnetic.
likely to be either biotite, amphibole, or magnetite. These minerals are known for their dark color and are commonly found in igneous and metamorphic rocks.
The scratch table is called the Mohs Scale of Mineral Hardness and measures the hardness of minerals in relation to the known hardest (diamond) and softest (talc) minerals.
