Yes.
Apatite - Ca5(PO4)3OH - has a Mohs hardness of 5.
Calcite - CaCO3 - has a Mohs hardness of 5.
True. In general, a mineral can scratch any mineral that is softer than itself according to Mohs Scale of Mineral Hardness. This means that a mineral with a higher number on the scale can scratch a mineral with a lower number.
False. A mineral can only scratch itself or minerals equal in hardness or softer than it.
True. The Mohs hardness scale ranks minerals from 1 (softest) to 10 (hardest), with each number representing a mineral with a certain level of hardness. For example, talc is the softest mineral with a rating of 1, while diamond is the hardest with a rating of 10.
Not 'mud', it is the remains of shells and skeletons of dead sea creatures, as well as precipitated calcite that eventually lithify to form limestone.
Yes, a material with a hardness of 8 can scratch a material with a hardness of 7, but not the other way around. Hardness is a measure of a material's resistance to scratching, so a material with a higher hardness value can scratch a material with a lower hardness value.
If the statement is false, then "This statement is false", is a lie, making it "This statement is true." The statement is now true. But if the statement is true, then "This statement is false" is true, making the statement false. But if the statement is false, then "This statement is false", is a lie, making it "This statement is true." The statement is now true. But if the statement is true, then... It's one of the biggest paradoxes ever, just like saying, "I'm lying right now."
Yes, a statement can be true or false but without knowing what the statement is no-one can possibly say whether it is true or it is false.
A counterexample is a specific case in which a statement is false.
Let us consider "This statement is false." This quotation could also be read as "This, which is a statement, is false," which could by extent be read as "This is a statement and it is false." Let's call this quotation P. The statement that P is a statement will be called Q. If S, then R and S equals R; therefore, if Q, then P equals not-P (since it equals Q and not-P). Since P cannot equal not-P, we know that Q is false. Since Q is false, P is not a statement. Since P says that it is a statement, which is false, P itself is false. Note that being false does not make P a statement; all things that are statements are true or false, but it is not necessarily true that all things that are true or false are statements. In summary: "this statement is false" is false because it says it's a statement but it isn't.
False. A declaration is a public statement.
A counter example is a statement that shows conjecture is false.
false
The below statement is false. The above statement is true. I am lying. I am lying when I say I am lying.
