The name of the commonly used hardness scale is specific gravity organic Mohs inorganic?
The commonly used hardness scale is the Mohs scale. It measures the hardness of minerals based on their ability to scratch one another, ranking them from 1 (talc) to 10 (diamond). This scale is particularly useful in geology and mineralogy for identifying minerals based on their hardness.
