The ability of a substance to scratch another substance is referred to as its hardness. Hardness is a measure of how resistant a material is to deformation, particularly permanent deformation, scratching, or abrasion. It is often assessed using scales such as Mohs hardness scale, which ranks materials based on their ability to scratch one another. In general, a harder material can scratch a softer material, indicating its superior resistance to wear and damage.
The ability of one substance to dissolve in another substance is called SOLUBILITY.
Reactivity
The ability to combine chemically through the formation of chemical bonds with another substance is a chemical property.
The ability to combine chemically through the formation of chemical bonds with another substance is a chemical property.
This ability is typically referred to as abrasion or machining, where a harder material is used to scratch, etch, or cut another material. Processes like sanding, grinding, or using a cutting tool leverage this principle to shape or refine materials.

Yes, a substance with a hardness of 8 on the Mohs scale will scratch a substance with a hardness of 7. The Mohs scale compares the hardness of minerals, and a substance can scratch any mineral with a lower number on the scale.
