<u>Answer</u>:

Fluorite  is a mineral could be scratched by a penny but not by a fingernail.

<u>Explanation</u>:

Friedrich Mohs was a German mineralogist who developed a hardness scale. The least hard mineral was talc and hardest mineral is Diamond which ranged from Scale 1 to 10. Mohs Hardness scale is a measuring metric which is used to determine the hardness of a metal where one of his standard definitions about “scratching a mineral” using fingernails is very much popular. In that he defined that “Calcite, Talc and Fluorite” can be scratched using fingernails and only “Fluorite” from the given options can be scratched by a penny but not by a fingernail.

Which are root words? Check all that apply
SpyIntel [72]

Answer:

Root words are parts of words which cannot be divided any further, but which have some kind of meaning on their own. Here, I believe that root words are cred, graph, and vis.

Cred (as found in credible, credibility), means something believable; graph (as in graphic) means to write; vis (as in visible) means to see. Anti, con, and post are all prefixes, which means they are added to words and cannot be root words thus.
