How can you tell if a mineral can scratch another mineral?
You can tell if a mineral can scratch another mineral by performing a scratch test, where you use the hardness scale to compare the minerals. If the mineral you are testing can scratch the other mineral, then it has a higher hardness on the scale.
Is the following question true or false a mineral can scratch any mineral harder than itself?
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.
What mineral can scratch a diamond?
diamond's hardness is a factor of 10. So this is the highest hardness, no mineral has this hardness! You can't scratch a diamond.
What mineral can scratch itself but no other mineral can scratch it?
A diamond is the only material that cannot be scratched by any other than itself.
What does a scratch test do in geology?
A scratch test in geology is used to determine the hardness of a mineral. By scratching one mineral with another, geologists can assess which mineral is harder based on the scratch produced. This allows for the identification of minerals based on their relative hardness levels.

To what are you referring when you address the hardness of a mineral?
its ability to scratch another mineral
Is it true or false mineral can scratch any mineral harder than itself?
false a mineral can not scratch any mineral harder than itself

What kind of mineral will scratch a mineral?
A harder mineral will scratch a softer one.
What mineral can scratch a diamond?
diamond's hardness is a factor of 10. So this is the highest hardness, no mineral has this hardness! You can't scratch a diamond.
Which mineral ranked the highest hardness?
A diamond is the hardest mineral. A diamond can scratch all other minerals or rocks and cannot be scratched by another mineral or rock except another diamond.
What is a mineral's ability to scratch another mineral?
A mineral's resistance to being scratched (or when a force is applied) is called its hardness.There are different measurements of hardness: scratch hardness, indentation hardness, and rebound hardness. A material's hardness depends on ductility, elastic stiffness, plasticity, strain, strength, toughness, viscoelasticity, and viscosity.
What is the characteristic of a mineral that is revealed by testing what substances can scratch it and what the mineral can scratch?
it is hardness
What is the only mineral that can scratch corundum?
Diamond is the hardest mineral and is the only one that can scratch corundum. but in my opinion corundum will scratch corundum any mineral of the same hardness will scratch the other !
