of cors not stupid
Flint is a common name for a form of sedimentary rock called chert, formed from microscopic siliceous (essentially quartz) skeletons of radiolarians. As such the hardness of chert is 7, which is slighly harder than glass and considerably harder than steel. If it will scratch glass it is likely to be flint. Flint is often mistaken for limestone or marble, which is much softer and will not scratch glass.
Brass is harder than bronze because it contains a higher percentage of zinc which gives it a harder and more durable quality. Bronze, on the other hand, is softer and more malleable due to its higher copper content.
A steel knife can scratch minerals with a hardness lower than that of steel, such as gypsum, calcite, fluorite, and talc. Minerals like quartz, topaz, and corundum are harder than steel and cannot be easily scratched by a steel knife.
Chalk is harder than rubber. Chalk is a form of limestone made of calcium carbonate, which is a relatively hard mineral, whereas rubber is a soft and flexible material typically made from natural or synthetic polymers.
Yes, copper is softer than stainless steel and can scratch it if rubbed against it with enough force. It's recommended to avoid using copper utensils or cleaning tools on stainless steel surfaces to prevent scratching.
Tungsten is a metal that is harder than steel.
Why is quartz harder steel

sandstone is not harder than flint because sandstone breaks in to smaller pieces.
Diamond is harder than steel: you can scratch steel with a diamond, but steel will not scratch a diamond.
No.
Yes, most steel is harder than pure platinum. Steel is an alloy of several different elements. If you were to add alloying elements to Platinum, it would become harder as well.
No, 316 stainless steel is not harder than A106 carbon steel. In fact, carbon steel is generally harder than stainless steel due to its higher carbon content. Stainless steel is known for its corrosion resistance and durability, while carbon steel is valued for its strength and hardness.
Yes, steel is generally harder than nickel. Steel is a metal alloy that is known for its strength and durability, while nickel is a softer metal.
Yes, diamond is harder than steel. Diamond is the hardest natural material known, while steel is a strong metal but not as hard as diamond.
flint and steel use it to detonate tnt ^.^
