What three minerals are metal and scrach glass?
The three minerals that are metals and can scratch glass are iron pyrite (pyrite), hematite, and magnetite. These minerals have a high hardness level, allowing them to scratch glass and show metallic luster.
What mineral will not scratch glass?
A few minerals that do not scratch glass come to mind . . . talc, asbestos, mica, for instance.
What is the hardness of a mineral if it scratches a penny but will not scratch glass?
Between 3.5 and 5.5 on the Mohs scale of mineral hardness.
Can amphibole scratch glass?
No, amphibole minerals typically have a hardness of around 5 to 6 on the Mohs scale, while glass has a hardness of about 5.5. This means that amphibole is not hard enough to scratch glass.
What hardness does a mineral have if it does not scratch glass but scratches an iron nail?
The mineral would have a hardness between 5.5 and 6.5 on the Mohs scale. It cannot scratch glass (hardness of about 5.5) but can scratch an iron nail (hardness of about 4). This places it in the range of minerals like orthoclase feldspar or apatite.
What minerals would scratch glass?
Diamond

Glass has hardness of about 5.5 which minerals will scratch it?
feldspar, quartz, topaz, corundum, diamond.... Diamond will diffidently scratch glass its also made to cut glass if you get tech with it. (alyssamc6)
Glass has a hardness of about 5.5 what minerals would scratch the glass?
There are many minerals with hardness above 5.5 but the standard ones are feldspar,quartz, topaz, corundum and diamond.
What property of rocks can be determined by discovering whether they scratch glass?
The property of rocks that can be determined by whether they scratch glass is their hardness. This is measured on the Mohs scale, which ranks minerals based on their ability to scratch one another. If a rock can scratch glass, it indicates that its hardness is greater than that of glass, which has a hardness of about 5.5 on the Mohs scale. Conversely, if it cannot scratch glass, it is likely to be softer than this standard.
Does gneiss scratch glass?
Gneiss, a metamorphic rock composed of granular minerals, typically does not scratch glass. The hardness of gneiss generally ranges between 6 and 7 on the Mohs scale, while glass has a hardness of around 5.5. Therefore, while some minerals within gneiss may be hard enough to scratch glass, the rock itself usually does not have the consistent properties required to do so.
What is the hardness of a mineral if it scratches a penny but will not scratch glass?
Between 3.5 and 5.5 on the Mohs scale of mineral hardness.
A minerals hardness with respect to other minerals can be determined by?
scratching the mineral acrros a glass plate
What mineral can scratch all the minerals?
Diamonds are proven to scratch all minerals including itself.
Will glass scratch glass?
Yes, glass can scratch glass. The hardness of the material determines if it will cause a scratch, with harder materials like diamonds being able to scratch glass. It is best to avoid rubbing glass objects against each other to prevent scratches.
Which minerals cannot scratch any minerals by itself?
Diamond is the hardest naturally occurring mineral and can scratch all other minerals. Talc is the softest of minerals and cannot scratch any other mineral.
