# Cesium .2 # Rubidium .3 # Sodium .4 # Potassium .5 # Lithium .6 # Indium 1.2 # Gallium 1.5 # Lead 1.5 # Calcium 1.5 # Strontium 1.8

As it makes no sense to talk of hardness when a metal is liquid all values are when the metal is solid. Mercury is 2-2.5 when solid.

In making this table I didn't look-up the hardness of absolutely every metal so some rearrangements maybe be necessary here.

# Zinc 2.5

# Aluminum 2 # Antimony 3-3.3 # Bismuth 2.5 # Cadmium 2 # silver 2.5 - 4 # Magnesium 2 # Mercury 2-2.5 # Gold 2.5-3 Moh's scale of hardness

What is the softest metal on earth?

The two metals with the lowest Mohs hardness scale values are cesium, with hardness 0.2, and rubidium, with hardness 0.3. Lithium, sodium, and potassium metals have values near 0.5-0.6. - - - - - Cesium and rubidium are liquids at or near room temperature--cesium undergoes phase change at 28C, rubidium undergoes phase change at 39C. I knew they were the softest metals on the Mohs scale, but didn't list them because of this low melt point. So...after the liquid metals (there are five--mercury, francium and gallium plus the two already named), you could pick any of the three low-mass alkali metals as the "softest."
