A malleable material could be hit without being shattered, it would only flex or bend out of shape.
No, because it cannot be hammered into a thin sheet without shattering
Ductile and malleable - they can be shaped into various forms without shattering or breaking. This property is due to the ability of metallic bonds to freely move and reorient without compromising the overall structure of the material.
A bullet may pierce a mirror without breaking it if it hits the mirror at a very acute angle or if the mirror is made of toughened material that can absorb the impact without shattering. The angle of impact and the velocity of the bullet both play a role in determining whether the mirror breaks or not.
A hammer will shatter some things that are chemically bonded, and will not shatter others. Glass, ice and even diamonds can be "broken" with a hammer. They are solids and have the quality of being brittle to a lesser or greater degree. But other materials will definitely not shatter when struck by a hammer. If you struck a tire with a hammer, you'd be hitting it all day without shattering it. (But if you cryogenically cool the rubber and hammer it, it will shatter with ease.) Whether or not a material that is chemically bonded will shatter when struck by a hammer depends on the material. We need to note, however, that the hammer will not generally break the chemical bonds themselves when the material shatters. The hammer just breaks the macroscopic (perhaps crystalline) structure of the material.
A high impact polymer is a type of material that can withstand sudden and severe forces without breaking or shattering. These polymers are engineered to have increased toughness and durability, making them suitable for applications where impact resistance is important, such as in automotive parts, protective gear, or packaging materials.

Malleuable is a mterial that can be hit without it shattering
A material through which light can pass without shattering is called a transparent material. Examples include glass, water, and air. Transparency in materials allows light to pass through without significant distortion.
A material that can be pounded without shattering is malleable (can be pounded into sheets without breaking) and ductile (can be pounded into thin wires without breaking), such as gold or copper. These metals have strong metallic bonds that allow them to deform without breaking.
It is possible to cut CDs and DVDs without shattering them. Just cut them with a razor saw, and then use a metal file to get rid of any jagged edges.

The wedge shattering the slab of shale is a physical change. This is because the shale undergoes a change in shape and size without any new substances being formed.
One way to break glass without shattering it is by using a technique called scoring and snapping. This involves making a shallow cut or score on the surface of the glass and then applying pressure to break it along the scored line. This method allows for a controlled break without causing the glass to shatter into small pieces.
Shattering is only a physical change because the chemical composition is still the same (unless you're shattering molecules or atoms).

I assume you are talking about a solid shattering. This is a physical change. The reason it is not a chemical change is that say in glass for instance, the silicon dioxide molecules themselves do not change. It is just the shape that changes.
