Mohs hardness test has a scale range of _________
a) 1 to 10
b) 100 to 200
c) 1 to 1000
d) 1 to 3000
View Answer
Answer: a
Explanation: Mohs hardness scale was developed by “Frederich Mohs” in 1822, which is a chart that denotes relative hardness of the various materials (1-softest to 10-hardenst). According to Mohs scale, diamond is the hardest material and talc is the softest material.
