• Minerals with larger numbers are harder than minerals with 1 smaller numbers and can leave visible scratches on them.
• Minerals with smaller numbers are softer than minerals with larger numbers and cannot leave visible scratches on them.
• The mineral talc has a Mohs scale number of 1.
• The mineral fluorite has a Mohs scale number of 4.
• The mineral topaz has a Mohs scale number of 8.
The student wants to compare the hardness of talc and topaz. Which choice most effectively uses relevant information from the notes to accomplish this goal?

ATopaz can leave visible scratches on fluorite, which is why topaz has a higher number than fluorite on the Mohs scale of mineral hardness.
