What is the definition of hardness in minerals?
Hardness in minerals refers to the ability of a mineral to resist scratching or abrasion. It is measured on the Mohs scale, which ranks minerals from 1 (softest) to 10 (hardest).

Mohs scale uses what to classify minerals from softest to hardest?
Hardness
Which lists the minerals in the correct order from softest to hardest?
The correct order of minerals from softest to hardest, based on the Mohs scale of mineral hardness, is talc (1), gypsum (2), calcite (3), fluorite (4), apatite (5), orthoclase feldspar (6), quartz (7), topaz (8), corundum (9), and diamond (10). Each mineral is rated according to its ability to scratch others, with talc being the softest and diamond the hardest.

What is a Mohs' hardness scale?
The Mohs' hardness scale is a scale that measures the hardness of minerals by testing their scratch resistance. It ranges from 1 (softest) to 10 (hardest), with talc being the softest and diamond being the hardest. This scale is widely used in geology and mineralogy to identify minerals based on their scratch resistance.

What is the scratch table of rocks and minerals?
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.
