Did you know not all materials are equally hard? π€
Hereβs a fun list to compare some common materials! Talc, the softest, is a 1 on the Mohs scale. Gypsum comes in at 2, and calcite is a 3. πͺ¨
At 4,
fluorite is a little tougher. Glass is around 5.5, while steel is about 6 on the scale. π
Remember, diamonds sit at the top as the hardest material, scoring a perfect 10! π
This comparison shows how different materials are used for different purposes. For example, soft materials like clay are perfect for making art, and hard ones like steel are great for tools! π¨π§
