Fluorite can scratch a copper coin but cannot be scratched by a copper coin. This is because according to Mohs scale of hardness, fluorite has a hardness of four. Copper has a hardness of three. Therefore fluorite is a harder mineral than copper and will scratch copper but it will not be scratched by copper. Mohs based his scale on the fact that some minerals could scratch others. If one mineral could scratch another but could not be scratched by it, he reasoned that it must be harder.

In this experiment, Harlow used baby monkeys and observed their behavior in different situations that included separating the baby and the mother, providing a fake mother, isolating baby monkeys for a long time and allowing baby monkeys to choose between their mother or food. The results of this experiment showed mother-infant emotional bonds were key for the development and socialization of monkeys, this could be explained as mother monkeys provided contact comfort which supported a positive development and prevailed over food or nourishment.
