On the Mohs Scale of hardness, diamond rates as 10, which is the hardest.
Its hardness relative to glass depends on the chemical composition of the glass.
Diamond is harder than onyx.
Yes
Yes, diamonds can cut glass, because diamonds are harder than glass.
A diamond is by far the hardest material on earth. On the Mohs scale of hardness -- ranked 1 to 10 -- diamonds are 10, which is more than 10 times harder than the closest at 9, a ruby - corundum (aluminium oxide). The stone, marble, is usually in the 6-7 range. A toy marble can be made from glass, clay, steel, or agate, none of which is as hard as a diamond.
Because diamond is harder than any other stone. In fact, diamonds are cut by other diamonds.
Diamond is used to cut glass, since it is harder than glass.
No, diamond is MUCH harder.
A diamond will cut glass -- an emerald will not.
No, Prince Rupert's drop is not harder than diamond. Diamond is one of the hardest known natural materials, while Prince Rupert's drop is a glass object that is not as hard as diamond.
Diamonds are denser and harder than glass, as diamonds can score glass - as in a diamond glass-cutter.
No. Diamonds cut glass because diamonds are harder than glass. Quartz is not as hard as diamond.
Diamonds are much harder than glass, so when a diamond comes into contact with glass, the hardness and strength of the diamond prevent it from shattering the glass. Instead, the diamond would typically scratch or chip the glass surface.
Yes, diamonds are much harder than glass. Diamonds score a 10 on the Mohs scale of mineral hardness, while glass typically scores around 5.5. This means diamonds are more resistant to scratching and are considered one of the hardest known substances.
No. Diamond is harder than emerald.
Diamond is much harder than copper. On the Mohs hardness scale (higher numbers are harder), diamond is a 10 and copper is somewhere between 3 and 4.
Your answer depends on the composition of the 'fake diamond' and the composition of glass. Each mineral has a rating on the Mohs Scale of hardness. The harder mineral will scratch the softer mineral.
Diamond is harder than plastic.
