Iron Ranks about a 4-5 on the Moh's hardness scale. A diamond is a perfect 10 diamond. A diamond much harder then iron.
Yes, Absolutely......... Gold is softer than Iron... Gold becomes Harder because of other components that is being added like Silver and Copper. They add these components to add strength into the Jeweleries.
No, iron is harder than potassium. Iron is a metal with a higher Mohs hardness rating than potassium, which is a soft alkali metal.
No, platinum is much harder than gold and will not scratch it. However, platinum can become scratched with enough force or contact with materials that are harder than platinum.
Sodium is more malleable than iron. Sodium is a soft metal that can be easily cut with a knife, whereas iron is a harder metal that is less malleable.
False. A mineral can only scratch another mineral if it is harder than that mineral according to the Mohs scale of mineral hardness.

it is iron
Yes. Diamond.
The mineral would have a hardness between 5.5 to 6 on the Mohs scale. This suggests that it is harder than glass (hardness of 5.5) but softer than an iron nail (hardness of around 5.5 to 6).
Iron is generally harder than bronze, but variations in chemistry or impurities can vary the hardness in both materials.
yes
Yes.
If you mean isn't harder than quartz but harder than apatite ( you spelled it wrong), that would be Orthoclase Feldspar. Else the minerals that are harder than both apatite and quartz are topaz, corundum, and diamond (diamond being the hardest, well the hardest non synthetic mineral).
No, there is no correlation between color and hardness in minerals.
Calcite is a mineral that is harder than gypsum but softer than fluorite on the Mohs scale of mineral hardness. Calcite has a hardness of 3, while gypsum has a hardness of 2 and fluorite has a hardness of 4.
