cleavage.
cleavage. Cleavage is the tendency of minerals to break along specific planes of weakness due to the arrangement of atoms in their crystal structure.

Cleavage is the tendency of materials to split along definite structural planes, yielding smooth surfaces. An example is shales or shists.
It is a type of igneous or sedimentary rock.
The breaking of a mineral along irregular surfaces is called a fracture. The splitting of a mineral along smooth, flat surfaces is called cleavage.
