Mohshardeheidschaal
The Mohshardeheidschaal, also known as the Mohs hardness scale, is a qualitative ordinal scale characterizing the scratch resistance of various minerals through the ability of a harder material to scratch a softer material. It was created by the German mineralogist Friedrich Mohs in 1812 and remains one of the most widely used systems for identifying and classifying minerals based on their relative hardness.
The scale ranges from 1 to 10, with each integer representing a different mineral that serves as
The Mohs hardness scale is not linear; the difference in scratch resistance between consecutive integers is
While the Mohs scale is widely used, it has limitations. It does not measure absolute hardness but
